Jerry Poppenhouse, who passed away in 2023 at age 84, lived a life full of creativity, adventure, and generosity. From photographing people and places across the world to teaching students how to find beauty in the everyday, Jerry shared his passion for art with everyone he met. His generous donation of his work is meant to benefit Elder Care. The collection will be on display September 15–19, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and all pieces will be available in a silent auction, with proceeds supporting Elder Care’s mission. Join us at 1223 Swan Drive, Bartlesville, to view these extraordinary works and take home a piece of Jerry’s legacy.
