NJ's Annual Senior Art Show Will Open In East Windsor On Oct. 5

EAST WINDSOR, NJ - The 2024 New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show will open on Saturday, at Meadow Lakes Senior Living, in East Windsor.

The show will remain on display and open to the public through Wednesday, Oct. 30. This is the 58th annual State Senior Citizen Art Show, and features more than 250 works of art by artists over the age of 60, representing 20 of the State’s 21 counties.

The work will be reviewed by a three-person panel of professional artists. After review, the judges will select first, second, and third place winners and honorable mentions in each category.

“Mercer County is proud to continue our role as hosts to the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show," Mercer County Executive Dan Benson said.

"It's always incredible to see the talent on display from seniors all cross the Garden State.”

The annual exhibit, a co-sponsored project of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Mercer County’s Division of Culture & Heritage, caps a year of local Senior Citizen Art Shows held throughout the state.

“The State Arts Council is grateful for the ongoing partnership with the Mercer County Division of Culture and Heritage to showcase the remarkable creativity of New Jersey's mature artists,” said Stephanie Nerbak, Artist Services Manager at the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.

“This project is an annual highlight for the Arts Council and a perfect example of the importance of arts engagement for everyone and every age.”
