Creativity and imagination of older adults to be showcased
The public is invited to enjoy almost 100 pieces of artwork, live music and demonstrations as part of the “Creativity is Timeless” exhibit at Walnut Hills Retirement Community on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is free.
All of the exhibit’s artwork was completed by amateur artists who are age 55 and over and reside in Holmes County and the surrounding area.
“We are very excited to see more outstanding pieces of artwork this year,” said Paula Miller, community relations director. “This is our ninth year for the show, which celebrates creativity of older adults, and every year we are blown away with the quality of the pieces submitted.”
Visitors to the exhibit will enjoy artwork from a variety of categories including paintings and drawings; photography; quilting, cross-stitch and other soft crafts; woodworking, ceramics and other hard crafts; and miscellaneous arts and crafts items.
Visitors who stop in at the “Creativity is Timeless” exhibit will have a chance to vote for their favorite piece of artwork, which will help determine the recipient of the People’s Choice Award.
Demonstrations this year will include handmade stained glass art by Mariah Green and spinning and weaving by Ashley Casteel. Live guitar, violin and piano music also will be provided throughout the day.
