The Sage Wisdom exhibition celebrates artists who have either maintained or advanced their work well past their 60’s. Claude Monet,long after having a career as a renowned and financially successful artist,  retreated to the beloved gardens of his home in Giverny where his gardens became his artistic obsession. He withdrew from the art world — and yet painted almost obsessively up until his death. This inward concentration and drive was to create art for his own private pleasure, and this is a characteristic of many artists have as they age.  

Artists over 65 possess a freedom to make their own artistic choices at the same time their creativity can also be constrained or reimagining by other things like limited mobility and changes in their health. This show partners with a collaborative discussion with the AAWR and celebrates the stories of inspiring artists making art beyond their 60’s. The work exhibited celebrates the artists shifts and changes  created in their earlier artistic developments from decades ago but also includes new work made for the show.. Featured artists include Fran Belkin, Hector Castellanos Lara, David Buttram, Don Harvey, Dan Rothenfeld, John Saile, Patricia Zinsmeister Parker and Susan E. Squires
