Senior Living Art Showcase

Voting is now open for the ALFA Senior Living Art Showcase, ALFA’s premier art competition for senior living residents. We have received an overwhelming response from senior living residents across the country and around the world. ALFA has chosen 183 semifinalist paintings, which best demonstrate the artistic talent of senior living residents and embody this year’s theme: Carpe Diem, meaning seize the day.

Two winners will be chosen out of this pool of magnificent artwork. The grand prize winner will be chosen by ALFA, but the fan favorite will be chosen solely by your votes. Both winning artists will receive a painting party for their respective communities, and a number of other finalists will be chosen to be displayed at Community 2012, ALFA’s annual conference and expo. All finalists will have their painting purchased for $100, receive a set of note cards with their painting on the front, and garner recognition at ALFA’s annual conference.

I encourage you, and everyone else at your community, to visit ALFA’s Facebook page at alfa.org/facebook and vote for your favorite piece. Just “Like” the photo of the artwork to cast your vote. These residents’ paintings demonstrate the vast amount of talent, dedication, and inspiration present in senior living communities. I am sure you will find a piece that speaks to you.
