“The annual Senior Art Show is a spectacular display of the creativity and talent of Mercer County residents,” Benson said. “I’m proud that we’re continuing this beloved event, and I can’t wait to stop by and see the artwork for myself.”

Applicants may submit one piece of art in any of the following 11 categories: acrylic, craft, digital art, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, print, sculpture, watercolor, and works on paper. All submissions must be the original work created within the last three years and not previously entered in a Mercer County Senior Citizen Art Show or the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show (NJSAS).

The registration deadline is June 13. Artists may register by completing an online registration form at https://shorturl.at/G4IuP or by filling out a print registration form, which can be printed from https://shorturl.at/dDMJ5, and mailing it to the Mercer County Division of Culture & Heritage – 640 South Broad Street Trenton, NJ 08611 – RM 417.  Artists must drop off their registered artwork at the Conference Center at Mercer on June 25 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
