Senior Art Show

Each summer, Mount Pleasant Home puts on the Senior Art Show displaying watercolor pieces by the residents.  Art teacher and professional Elva Proctor (pictured at right) kicks off the show by painting a demonstration piece.  Residents comment on how fun it is to watch how she puts together such amazing pieces while so many watch. 

Upon completion of Ms. Proctor's piece, two adjacent activity rooms become an art museum where people can view watercolor paintings, cards, and other art works. 

Many residents have even discovered a hidden talent for art!  Check out the article in the Jamaica Plain Gazette where former resident Charlotte Gridiron partnered with a young artist for an art show in downtown Jamaica Plain.  Charlotte, who was turning 99 at the time, was known to say that she never knew she was an artist until moving to Mount Pleasant just a couple of years ago!
