Lifetime of Perspective Exhibit

Lifetime of Perspective Exhibit

May 21, 2023

From the Exhibition Sponsors
David Berliant, our father and grandfather, was an avid “Sunday painter;” his wife, Eve, was his most devoted fan. Their love of art has been passed down to us, their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Deena Berliant Kaplan began this exhibit in their memory, and now it is in her memory as well. In their honor, we want senior artists to have the opportunity to display their talent and share it with their loved ones. From the family of David, Eve and Deena: Thank you, Jerome A. Kaplan, Karen E. Kaplan, Jessica M. Kaplan, Joseph Youcha, Carolyn K. and Steven H. Bernstein.

This Exhibit is Supported By
The Berliant-Kaplan Endowment Fund. The Deena and Jerome A. Kaplan Fund for Senior Adult Programming. Additional support for this and other Gildenhorn/Speisman Center for the Arts (GSCA) programs is provided by a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council, an agency dedicated to cultivating a vibrant cultural community where the arts thrive. Funding for the Maryland State Arts Council is also provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. The Bender JCC is also supported in part by funding from the Montgomery County government and the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, the County Executive’s Ball for the Arts, and other private sources.

Senior Adult Programs at the Bender JCC
The Bender JCC of Greater Washington sponsors an extensive range of activities for older adults — including kosher lunches, classes, lectures, excursions, educational and cultural programs, programs for visually impaired senior citizens, ESOL and citizenship classes for immigrants, educational seminars, cultural programming, self-directed groups, volunteer opportunities, exercise and health education — as part of its ongoing commitment to wellness and the welfare of adults in the community. The Center is a home away from home for thousands of senior adults. In addition to programs at our Rockville location and Ring House, the Bender JCC sponsors senior adult programming in Silver Spring.

It is with great joy that the 2022 A Lifetime of Perspective: Art by Older Adults exhibit will be able to return to the Goldman Gallery as an in-person exhibit. Because of the success of the virtual exhibits and the ability of the artists and the Bender JCC to be able to share the wonderful work of these artists all over the world, we have decided to continue to offer a virtual version of the exhibit. It’s an opportunity to bring our community together to celebrate the importance of art as a tool for processing, understanding, and healing. We hope you enjoy this virtual exploration of paintings, photographs, sculptures, and much more created by our talented amateur artists aged 65 and better.

We want to extend a warm thank you to the Kaplan Family, our generous sponsors of A Lifetime of Perspective, and their ongoing support and enthusiasm for the project. We honor the memory of Deena Kaplan whose vision and love of art made this exhibit become such a meaningful part of the Bender JCC’s mission to share the enduring power of creativity through art.
