Capital Manor Artists recognized
Five Capital Manor residents were recognized recently by the Oregon Alliance of Senior and Health Services at their Ageless Art Judging Luncheon on August 19, 2010.
Residents Irv Cross, Enola Englehorn, Mary Reeves, Peter Stone and Bert Kersh will all have their art on display at the Oregon Capitol Building in the month of September. The quilt submitted by Bert Kersh will also be photographed and featured in the full color calendar published by the Alliance each year.
The Ageless Art contest began in 1986 with the first annual calendar published for the year 1987. The art competition and exhibit, held annually, celebrates the artistic talents of those over 60 years of age. Through a professionally judged contest, the top 12 pieces of art are selected, then photographed and featured in a full-color calendar published each year. Approximately one third of the entries are featured in the annual Art Exhibit. In the past the exhibit has been at the Capitol in Salem, the Portland Art Museum, Willamette View in Portland and at the Holy Names Heritage Center in Lake Oswego.
Established in 1979, the Oregon Alliance of Senior & Health Services is the state association of not-for-profit, mission-directed organizations dedicated to providing quality housing, health, community and related services to the elderly and disabled. For more information, click here.
