San Diego Home and Gardens, June 2012

We are honoring senior members of our community by illustrating their stories and celebrating their beauty and strength. This exhibition consists of framed photos of residents of Fairwinds Ivey Ranch Retirement Community, each wearing a hat designed by an artist. The artist has interviewed the model and is relating their life story in the hat creation. A professional photo shoot and model runway show at Fairwinds will precede a display of hats and photos at Hera Hub Workspace for Women in Sorrento Valley. This project is sponsored by San Diego Visual Arts Network . Donation from Fairwinds have been made to help cover the cost of framing of the photographs.


Goals

  • Honoring of our elderly community by celebrating their past and displaying their current beauty
  • Creating opportunities for artists and photographers to showcase their skills and gain additional press for their talents
  • Enabling collaborations between facilities that supply services to the elderly and the non-profits that supports the visual arts and the communities of businesswomen who will supply future support for both
