Commun ty Matters Sterling Presbyterian Manor

Sterling Presbyterian Manor’s Art is Ageless exhibit and reception features senior artists

They are teachers, farmers, veterans, homemakers, entrepreneurs and nurses, among many others. Some have resumed art after putting it aside for a career, others have been creating beautiful pieces throughout their lives, and others never picked up a brush until after they retired, but all are now expressing themselves through art.

These diverse lives intersect at Sterling Presbyterian Manor this month with the Art is Ageless® program, which reaffirms the agelessness of human creativity. Studies show seniors who are involved in the arts report better health, have more positive attitudes and are more active than those who are not.

“It’s inspiring to see the beautiful pieces these seniors have created,” said Marketing Director Cindy Moore. “The joy it brings to them and others is wonderful, and that’s something we want to celebrate and share with the broader Sterling community.”
