Today was an amazing day for me. I was fortunate to be invited, for the second time, to jury the Ms. Missouri Senior America Pageant. So happy to be a participant. Each entrant was a winner. Here are pictures of the 2019 Queen, Dr. Nancy A. WIlkinson, and her stellar court: first runner up, Carolyn Schlueter, and Linda Stewart (on left) second runner up; this year’s finalists, those MOPAC members performing their renown signature “Maple Leaf Rag,” and the former queens. What a magical day! I loved every minute, shed many a tear, and learned so many words and thoughts to live by. A totally memorable day. Congratulations to all! Thank you to all for inviting me.

2019Films Announced for Seventh Annual Silver Screen Series – A Free Film Series Celebrating Creative Aging Through the Arts

And just like that, it’s over. It’s hard to believe that the fourth installment of Celebrating Art for Senior Engagement has recently come to a close. Where does the time go?
To simply say thank you for your participation in CASEfest doesn’t seem like enough. I am grateful that so many of you decided to attend the marvelous programs offered by our partners.
CASEfest would not exist without your willingness to participate.
This year, more than 60 events (from lectures to ballet to storytelling to creating sculptures) happened in 35-plus venues around St. Louis that highlighted art in some way, shape or form.
The goal of CASEfest is to enhance the lives of older adults in the region and to bring more people to come and see what our city’s arts organizations do so well.
One of the best things I heard about CASEfest this year came from an attendee who said, “Thank you for this program, I had no idea there were all these wonderful opportunities for seniors.”
That just made my day and helped me know that this festival and your involvement in this festival matters.
Your interest in the various activities of Maturity and Its Muse inspires me to continue to be involved with art and the community in so many ways.
CASEfest attendees enjoy arts organization activities
It’s great for me to share some of the events that took place. Perhaps you will find yourself in one of these pictures…if not cheers to next year.
I look forward to continuing our friendship in 2020 for our festival’s fifth anniversary.
As always, thanks for your support. It wouldn’t be a festival without YOU!

Join me and the Regional Arts Commission as they discuss “Unleashing Joy Through Creativity”
Please join me and the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis (RAC) for an engaging conversation and panel discussion with local scholars, professional artists and medical experts as they explore the connections between art and healthy aging this Friday, June 7 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at RAC (see address below). “Unleashing Joy Through Creativity” will focus on the benefits of living a creative life and the programs available for seniors who are interested in furthering their work as artists.
The free event comes as a special presentation of RAC’s “Hal Poth: Off the Wall” exhibition. Over the span of more than 80 years, Hal Poth produced thousands of pieces of art, creating a majority in his retirement years. Poth recognized the value of art making and encouraged people to pursue the arts and reap the benefits at any age.
Guests will be able to explore the exhibition and purchase Hal Poth’s artwork during the event. All proceeds benefit local nonprofit arts organizations. Admission is free.
