“One person caring for another represents life’s greatest value.” —Jim Rohn
The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is inviting photographers/visual artists to share their stories of older adults in community and caregivers who have been caring for their aging loved one. We provide a platform for artistic expression in order to foster a dialogue and drive innovation in the photographic arts to encourage everyone to care for those who once cared for us, as we believe caregiving for older adults is one of the highest honors.
