Senior Citizen Art Show Coming To Area.
Calling all senior citizens” an art exhibit honoring area seniors will be held from October 15 until November 15th, at the Big Sandy Community and Technical College Art Gallery. Seniors interested in showing their art work, need to contact their local senior citizen centers directors, for this great opportunity to showcase their talents.
This exhibit will celebrate the contributions made by seniors to our area culture, and allow the general public to view what a life time of experience means to the continuity of our customs and heritage. Seniors using sewing needles, paint brushes, and knives have blazed many trails which today we cherish, and it is time they were honored for their often unschooled creativity that is recognized nationally as “Folk Art”
Any Person over the age of sixty is welcome to participate in the art show. Space is limited in the gallery, so sign up early to be sure to get a spot in the show.
Local senior citizens directors will be contacted two weeks prior to the exhibit to provide the names of those interested in the show. A reception will be held for seniors and the general public, Tuesday October 21st at 6:00pm, with refreshments being served at the B.S.C.T.C Art Gallery.
