Salina Presbyterian Manor announces Art is Ageless® winners

Salina Presbyterian Manor recently hosted a reception for the winning artists in the annual Art is Ageless® juried competition.

“We are honored to exhibit artwork by seniors,” said Cathy Boos, marketing director. “Art is Ageless is unique in featuring only the works of artists age 65 and older. Our artists prove that art, in any form, is an ageless ambition.”
Local competition winners will join winners from 14 other PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of MidAmerica®) senior living communities to be judged at the masterpiece level. Winning entries at the masterpiece level are selected for publication in PMMA’s annual Art is Ageless calendar and note cards.

Brumbaugh has been in the industry since 2004, though she did have a brief stint with a school district when her kids were younger. As for senior living, what started out as a part-time role in medical records eventually led her to get her administrator’s license.
“I was in a similar role at another community and now I’m very excited to be at Salina,” she said. “This community has a wonderful reputation, so we’d like to continue to provide the quality of care that we’re known for.”
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our executive director Melissa Brumbaugh! u
