This year, the event will be held at the Glenn Activity Center at Bristol Village in Waverly and will be held the week of Oct. 16. A special reception to wrap up the event will be held the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 20.

Anyone who is 55 years of age or older may participate. The event’s official application form is available at the AAA7’s website at www.aaa7.org, or those who are interested can call for an application to be mailed – 1-800-582-7277 or email  info@aaa7.org.  

Examples of art categories that may be entered in the Contest taking place in October include: acrylic, charcoal, counted cross stitch, mixed media, oil, pastels, pencil and photography.
