Be Vintage was a series of advertisements for a fitness plan based on interviews with octogenarians living in First Hill. The interviewees were asked about advice for younger generations concerning exercise, diet, and love. The advertisements consist of seven outdoor banners on light poles, two large horizontal banners, a trifold brochure, and this website (http://bevintage.org) containing the interviews and volunteer opportunities with seniors in the neighborhood. The goal of the project is to raise awareness of the complex culture and life experiences embodied in the First Hill community, to encourage people to have more conversations with elders, and to provide points of contact for potential volunteers to get involved with senior services and retirement centers.
Be Vintage was made possible in part by a City of Seattle and SDOT grant.
