The Mercer County Office on Aging and the Division of Culture and Heritage are gearing up for the annual Mercer County Senior Art Show which will be on display July 23 through August 14 at Meadow Lakes, a Springpoint Senior Living Community, on Etra Road in East Windsor.
The Mercer County Senior Art Show 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.
The exhibit is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. In addition, a closing reception for artists, friends and family and art admirers will be held on August 14 at 1 p.m.
First-, second- and third-place winners and Honorable Mention recognition will be awarded in each of the following categories: acrylic, craft, digital/computer art, drawing and prints, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography (including digital), sculpture and watercolor. First-place winners automatically move on to the statewide competition, the New Jersey State Senior Art Show, to be held at Meadow Lakes in October.
