The Burlington County Senior Art Show is returning to Historic Smithville Park this spring and the County Commissioners are encouraging senior artists to help make it the best one yet.
Artists both professional and nonprofessional are eligible to submit original artwork for the show, which will be held at the Smithville Mansion Annex Gallery from May 16 through Sept. 6. The exhibition is organized by the Burlington County Department of Human Services Office on Aging in partnership with the Burlington County Parks System.
Submissions will be placed in one of nine categories (acrylic painting; watercolor and gouache; photography; oil painting; pastel and chalk; sculpture; mixed media; print/digital; and craft/works on paper) and will be judged by a juried panel. Art judged to be the best from each category will be displayed in the New Jersey Senior Art Show featuring works from across the state.
There is no fee for submission. All submissions must have been completed during the past three years. Artists interested in submitting this year are asked to register no later than May 2.
