Calling All Artists for the AARP Foundation 2010 Calendar Contest
The AARP Foundation invites all artists to submit their masterpieces as part of our AARP Foundation 2010 Calendar Contest! We welcome all current members (amateur artists only) to enter their original pastel, oil, acrylic, or watercolor paintings between March 24 and June 6, 2009.
Fourteen paintings will be chosen to adorn our annual AARP Foundation Calendar - and one could be yours! In addition to being featured in our 2010 calendar, the winning artwork will be exhibited at this year's AARP Life@50+® National Event & Expo in Las Vegas, NV, October 22-24, 2009!
The theme for this year's calendar is "There's Nowhere I'd Rather Be."
This calendar represents a favorite memory, experience or place you've visited, whether it's sitting around the kitchen table with loved ones, retreating to a special place or traveling to a preferred destination. Artists are requested to submit one image; entries need not be limited to tourist attractions or famous locations, but can include any cherished place or memory.
As the charitable arm of AARP, the AARP Foundation has been working to ensure all individuals are able to age with independence, dignity and control. Our innovative programs and services have been instrumental in helping to meet the changing needs of seniors in America as they travel through each and every stage of their lives.
Over the past four years, AARP members from across the country have displayed enormous talent and vision in their art - and now your inspiring artwork has a chance to be seen across America. Submit your entry today!
