Mercer County Seeks Submissions for Annual Senior Art Show

The Mercer County Office on Aging and the Division of Culture and Heritage are gearing up for the annual Mercer County Senior Art Show July 28 through Aug. 5 at the Meadow Lakes Retirement Community off Route 571 East in East Windsor.

Artists are encouraged to submit their artwork and should call (609) 989-6661 for more information.

“Mercer County has an extremely strong arts community, and our older residents are certainly contributors,” said County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “I am very much looking forward to seeing the talented work of many on display this summer.”

The Mercer County Senior Art Show is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week. 

The exhibit features original works of art created within the last three years, from drawings to paintings to crafts, by Mercer County residents age 60 or older.  

A closing reception will be held Aug. 5 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Meadow Lakes, 300 Meadow Lakes, East Windsor.

At the closing reception, a winner will be chosen in each of the following categories: acrylic, computer-generated images, drawing, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography (including digital), prints, and watercolor. Each winner will move on to the statewide competition in October, the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show.
