Fulton Senior Facilities To Host Artist Crawl May 15-16

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Fulton County is inviting the public to check out the creative work of participants at its four senior multipurpose facilities.

The Department of Senior Services will host an Artist Crawl from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 15 and Wednesday, May 16. The artwork will include paintings, ceramics, mixed media, textiles, clay and other works of art created exclusively by seniors.

The free exhibits are part of the annual celebration of Older Americans Month and demonstrate the ability of seniors to "Engage at Every Age."

"Your ability to contribute positively to the quality of life in our communities does not end at a certain age," said Senior Services Department Director Dr. Pamela Roshell. "Seniors are never too old to participate in activities that enhance our communities while they also contribute to their own continued physical, mental and emotional well-being."
