Some of the paintings may be purchased, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit programs and services at the center. Anyone interested in purchasing a painting can email the instructor, Barbara Medford, at artbar333@aol.com and she will notify the artist.

“Since we cannot hold an in-house reception for this exhibition, we would love to get comments from the public about the artworks,” said Akila Gibbs, executive director of the Pasadena Senior Center. “Feedback boosts the spirits and confidence of the students. Comments can be emailed to Barbara Medford.”
