Art is Ageless winners named
The Kansan
Winners of the 2021 edition of Art is Ageless are being celebrated at Newton Presbyterian Manor, and due to COVID-19, online. The contest is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
More than a dozen winners were named during the annual competition. Winning pieces at the community level move on to a masterpiece level judging to determine which pieces are featured in the Presbyterian Manor system’s annual calendar and note cards.
“We were pleased with the number of entries in the competition despite having a closed exhibit, which speaks well of the Art is Ageless experience,” said Noelle Dickinson, marketing director. “Many of the artists have used their extra hours at home in the last year to hone their craft or branch into new media. The joy it brings to them is contagious, and we enjoy celebrating their accomplishments and providing a way to share them with others through Art is Ageless.”
Art is Ageless event hits 40th anniversary
The 40th annual Art is Ageless event is in full swing, after the judging commenced Tuesday, viewers were allowed starting Wednesday, and it will run through Sunday.
The Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America first ran the Art is Ageless calendar in 1981, featuring resident-created art intended to “reaffirm ‘the agelessness of human creativity’”, as said by Reverend Thomas C. Wentz, former PMMA president, in the initial calendar.
This is the first year that the event’s sponsor, the Salina Presbyterian Manor, has partnered with the Salina Art Center, 242 S. Santa Fe Ave., to display the art in the center’s downtown building.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left no stone unturned in spreading its tentacles across the state and rural Phillips County is no exception.
The northwest Kansas county, which straddles the Nebraska border, has had one of the higher rates of COVID-19 cases per capita in the state.
As of now, that has not impacted Phillips County Retirement Center in Phillipsburg Nate Glendening, the facility s administrator, said they have been able to avoid an outbreak and are looking to keep it that way.
A surefire means of keeping the facility s 50 residents and 65 staff members safe is the COVID-19 vaccine, which is expected to begin rolling out to long-term care facilities across the state as early as next week.
