Meadowood Retirement Community, Terrace Room

Jon Kay, Director of Traditional Arts Indiana and MMWC Curator, will talk about the exhibit and the life of Gustav Potthoff. Gustav Potthoff paints to remember his fellow prisoners of war who built the Bridge over the River Kwai and the Hellfire Pass during World War II. This program shares his incredible story, and explores his life-review practice as a strategy for creative aging, and presents an exhibition exploring Potthoff’s work. The Traditional Arts Indiana exhibit is sponsored by the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts, and will be on display May 27-31, open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at the Meadowood Retirement Community. The event and exhibit are free and open to the public.
