“Our long-running Senior Art Show really showcases the breadth and depth of artistic talent among our Mercer County seniors” said County Executive Dan Benson. “I absolutely encourage interested seniors to submit their work, and I encourage all our residents, regardless of age, to stop by the show during its run.”

Participants may submit one work of art, which must have been completed within the last three years. Artwork must be the original work of the applicant and must not have been entered into a previous county show. The categories for submissions in the 2024 Mercer County Senior Art Show are acrylic, craft, digital art, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, print, sculpture, watercolor, and works on paper (drawing).

Registration through the Office on Aging is open and will end August 5 at 11:59 p.m. Artwork should be delivered to The Conference Center at Mercer County Community College on August 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

First-place winners automatically advance to the State’s New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show in the fall. One professional and one non-professional first-place winner are accepted into the State show in each category.
