Exhibit Takes Aim at Age Misconceptions
The young and the old will display their creative artwork, ceramics and photography today at an exhibit designed to close the generational gap and foster a good image of people living in nursing homes.
Work by artists ranging in age from 104-year-old Florence Alsberge to 5-year-olds at the Conejo Adventist Elementary School will be hanging at the Ventura Estates Retirement and Health Care Center, 915 Estates Drive, from 3 to 5:30 p.m.
“Too often, people see nursing homes as places where you go to die,” said the center’s activity director, Jay Johnson. “This is designed to showcase the fact that in reality, nursing homes are vital centers of active, creative living.”
