The Jo Safrit & Cathy Ennis Gallery for Art Loving Seniors
ABOUT THE Jo Safrit & Cathy Ennis Gallery
Well-Spring, A Life Plan Community has a special reciprocal partnership with Weatherspoon Art Museum that provides Well-Spring residents exposure to world-class artwork and art education opportunities and the Weatherspoon with a unique outlet for exhibiting works from its collection.
The Weatherspoon’s dedicated and rotating exhibition space has been supported by a generous gift from Jo Safrit, a Well-Spring resident and longtime Weatherspoon supporter. In turn, the space – to be known as the Jo Safrit & Cathy Ennis Gallery – is being provided to the Weatherspoon for rotating exhibits.
In addition to potential talks and workshops on various art subjects, Well-Spring underwrites and hosts an annual Distinguished Visiting Artist Lecture, spotlighting artists chosen by the Weatherspoon who epitomize the museum’s focus on contemporary and modern art. The lecture expands on Well-Spring’s long relationship with The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, of which the Weatherspoon is part, and the life plan community’s commitment to continuing education opportunities for its residents.
“It’s incredible that we will be able to display art of the caliber for which the Weatherspoon is known and to work with the museum on engaging educational opportunities, including the annual lecture. This is a great fit for both Well•Spring and the Weatherspoon,” said K. Alan Tutterow, executive director of Well-Spring, A Life Plan Community.
