Pomperaug Woods, Southbury's only not-for-profit retirement community, will host the Connecticut 3rd Annual Senior Juried Art Show September 24 to 26 to showcase the work of talented Connecticut artists – artists who all happen to be 70+ years of age. Themed as "The Art of Experience," all art work submitted in the show was created after the artists' 70th birthday.
The Senior Juried Art Show, produced by and hosted at Pomperaug Woods, is designed to highlight the talent, wisdom and vitality of seniors. This is the first and only art show of its type in Connecticut. In fact, this enduring community event has become instilled in the Southbury/ Tribury culture as the art show has significantly increased in popularity. In 2009, there were 99 submissions. This year, the community received 203 submissions hailing from all corners of Connecticut. Of those, 150 were chosen for inclusion in the 2010 Senior Juried Art Show. Categories in the show include Painting, Drawing, Photography and Sculpture.
