C. C. Young, a premiere, non-profit senior living community, recently announced The Spirit is Ageless Awards & Celebration Event will be held at The Point & Pavilion at C. C. Young on Saturday, May 6, 2017. The event is open to the general public and all participants of The Spirit is Ageless Art & Writing Contest.
This year’s featured speaker is veteran Dallas arts leader Lily Cabatu Weiss, Executive Director of the Dallas Arts District. Prior to her role as Executive Director, Weiss served as the Artistic Director at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Weiss has already begun to work on the new Community Development Master Plan for the Dallas Arts District, so her presence and insight aligns perfectly with C. C. Young and its anticipated developments. Weiss’ passion and enthusiasm for the arts position her as an ideal guest to help celebrate all of the creations and submissions from our valued participants who are age 55 and better.
“As an organization that is dedicated to providing an enriching lifestyle to seniors in the community, we value the efforts of the Dallas Arts District to provide a unique mix of the arts, science, recreation, and education for the City of Dallas,” said Denise Aver-Phillips, Vice President of Community Outreach at C. C. Young. “Our contest inspires and celebrates seniors’ creativity, and we are honored to have Lily Cabatu Weiss as our featured speaker at The Spirit is Ageless Awards and Celebration Event.”
Started in 1999, The Spirit is Ageless Art & Writing Contest continues to be a very special event at C. C. Young. The contest, art gallery show and celebration of artists and writers is designed for the entire Dallas-Fort Worth community to enjoy. The annual show features entries from 16 categories in an effort to celebrate each person’s ageless creativity, ability to grow, and eagerness to share his or her special talents, no matter the person’s limitations or status.
