Fort Scott Presbyterian Village is excited to announce the winners of its recent Art is Ageless® juried competition and exhibit.
“We’re honored that local seniors allowed us to exhibit and judge their wonderful works,” said Angela Carpenter, senior living sales specialist. “Art is Ageless is unique because it only features the works of artists who are 65 and over.” Our artists prove it’s never too late to create art, in any form.
