Art and Age Exhibit presented by ONPEA
April 25, 2010, the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (ONPEA.org), in collaboration with the Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre, produced the Elder Vibrancy exhibit to raise awareness of the ONPEA province-wide Senior Safety Line.
Art and Age: Elder Vibrancy ran from April 25 to May 23 at the Joshua Creek Gallery and included famous works of art by Doris McCarthy, Judy Finch, Naoko Matsubara, and Neil Liske – respected Canadian artists who all happen to be seniors. Sybil Rampen, the dynamic octogenarian who founded the arts centre on her Oakville property, also contributed art to the show.
