Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) Ware Presbyterian Village in Oxford held a reception on May 27 to commemorate the opening of a new traveling art exhibit. On loan from LeadingAge PA, the Ageless Art and Timeless Treasures exhibition features nearly 50 art pieces submitted by more than 100 senior artists residing at LeadingAge PA member communities across Pennsylvania.

Residents, artists and guests from PSL Ware Presbyterian Village gathered to enjoy refreshments and take in the artwork, which includes paintings, prints, sculptures, photography, and works created in fiber, wood, glass, mixed media and more. In addition to showcasing the beautiful artwork, the exhibit seeks to dispel myths of ageism by showcasing the depth of talent and creativity that exists within Pennsylvania’s senior communities.

The exhibition was coordinated by a committee of PSL Ware Presbyterian Village residents who oversee the community’s Vista Ridge Pavilion Gallery. While the traveling LeadingAge PA exhibition features pieces from senior artists across Pennsylvania, PSL Ware Presbyterian Village is home to many passionate and gifted artists.

“We have talented artists of all different stripes here, and we are one of the few senior living communities that have an art gallery,” said Barbara Tinsman, committee chair. “This is an eclectic exhibit that shows the vibrancy of senior artists. It demonstrates that just because we’re old, it doesn’t mean we’ve given up the art we’ve pursued most of our lives. There is still plenty of reason to be creative after retirement.”

Ageless Art and Timeless Treasures will be on display at the Vista Ridge Pavilion Gallery at PSL Ware Presbyterian Village at 7 East Locust St. in Oxford until July 13. Visitors are welcome to view the exhibit on Wednesday, July 9 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please call 610-998-2400 for more information.
