Feeling creative? Dust off the easel and sharpen those pencils, because the Senior Art Contest is a fantastic way to fulfill your creative drive! And if pencils and paint aren't your favorite mediums, why not take your camera out for a spin? Photography is accepted too!

The Agency coordinates a Senior Art Contest for those aged 55 and over each late summer/fall. Submissions can include paintings, drawing or photography. The entries are judged by local professionals in the field of art and are then hung in a local venue for the public’s enjoyment. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards are given and all individuals receive a participation ribbon. The contest is promoted in August each year and entries are usually due in early September. This is a great way to showcase your talent and/or try something new!
