Summary
In recognition of Older Americans Month, 2019, we launched Self Portraits: Faces of Aging.Thanks to funding from the Partners for Health Foundation and partnership support from the Montclair Art Museum, this initiative highlights self-portraits of older Montclair-area residents along with their reflections on what aging means to them.The goal of this project was to offset stereotypes around aging and highlight the talents and perspectives of older residents from throughout the Montclair area.
All of the portraits and quotes are featured at www.lifelongmontclair.org/facesofaging. Some artists also displayed their portraits at the Montclair Art Museum’s Free First Thursday in May.Banners were displayed in the Montclair Center Business Improvement District and Montclair’s South End Business District.
