SOUTHBURY, Connecticut (PRWEB) September 13, 2013 -- The Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show at Pomperaug Woods, Southbury’s only not-for-profit retirement community, invites the public to view the work of talented Connecticut artists – all of whom are 70+ years of age – at the sixth annual Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show, September 28 & 29. Themed “The Art of Experience,” the show will feature art work all created after the artists’ 70th birthday.

These talented members of our community bring decades of experience to their artwork.

The Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show, produced by and hosted at Pomperaug Woods, is designed to highlight the talent, wisdom and vitality of seniors age 70+, with the eldest entrant this year being 97. This is the first and only art show of its type in Connecticut. In fact, this show continues to grow in awareness and popularity. This year, the community accepted 253 submissions from 143 artists from all corners of Connecticut (38 CT towns are represented). Categories in this year's show are Painting, Drawing, Sculpture and Photography. There are 16 winners overall, four per category:

Winners in Painting Category
1st Place – Lorraine Ryan of New Milford, CT – Fenn Farm In Winter
2nd Place – Delores Rose of Oxford, CT – Farm Animals

First-place winners in each of the four categories will receive cash prizes. There will also be a $250 prize and crystal trophy in the shape of an artist's palette awarded to the winner of the “Tommie Davis Award.” The Tommie Davis Award is presented to a Connecticut artist who demonstrates feelings of beauty and life in their artwork. Tommie Davis was a multitalented artist who not only was an award-winning photographer, but a gifted painter and sculptress. Tommie was a resident at Pomperaug Woods for many years and was heavily involved in the Annual Connecticut Senior Juried Art Show. Pomperaug Woods, as the host of this annual juried show, is able to present the award in Tommie’s memory because of her generous donation earmarked as an endowment for the arts.
