The term Golden Age originated in Greek mythology. It refers to the first in a sequence of Ages of Man. The Golden Age denotes the period of primordial peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity during which, it is said, humans lived among the gods, mingling freely with them, and living to a very old age – all the while keeping their youthful appearance and vitality.
According to media innovator Moses Znaimer, today’s new “Zoomer” generation is staying current, fit, healthy and engaged well past what used to be thought as the traditional age of “retirement”. In Mr. Znaimer’s own words “most Zoomers are active, contributing members of society. Just staying alive is not our preference; living well till we die is”
How does the concept of A Golden Age fire your imagination as a visual artist? Artists are encour- aged to explore this theme widely through the artistic medium of their choice.Artists selected for this exhibition will be paid Carfac fees, will be eligible for a $2000 Best in Show Prize and a $1000 Peoples’ Choice Prize, and their work will be featured in Zoomer Magazine. Out of town artists will receive accommodation if they wish to be present at the ZoomerShow.
