Wood County Senior Center at 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green

 The Wood County Committee on Aging (WCCOA) is seeking local performers for a concert celebrating creative endeavors of older adult artists in Northwest Ohio. The concert will be presented in the Wood County Senior Center and produced by the WCCOA staff and volunteers. 

“Arts Abound, Perennial Pursuits!” strives to showcase various art forms pursued by community members who are compelled to create or engage in the arts as vital and meaningful components of quality of life. Visual art contributions will also be displayed in conjunction with the public performance. Intergenerational presentations are welcome; all performance levels are welcome.

Solo and group performers are encouraged to apply for inclusion by the Aug. 25 entry deadline, with the performance date set for Friday, Oct. 27, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Sound amplification, piano, and a 20 foot by 15 foot informal stage space is available. Rehearsal time in the performance space will also be provided leading up to the performance.
