File Photo/Artwork created by Atlantic County senior citizens will be on display at Atlantic Cape Art Gallery this summer.
MAYS LANDING - Atlantic County will showcase the creative abilities of county residents ages 60 and older at its 45th annual Senior Citizens Art Show. The juried show will be exhibited from June 10 through July 31 at the Atlantic Cape Community College Art Gallery, Building D, 5100 Black Horse Pike. A closing reception will be held 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 31.
We've had the pleasure of providing this event for 45 years due in large part to the talents and interest among our senior residents, Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson said. The artwork never fails to impress. Take the time to enjoy this exhibit; you won't be disappointed.
Professional and non-professional artists will compete in a variety of categories, including acrylic, craft, digital imagery, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, drawing/print, sculpture and watercolor. Winning entries will advance to the state competition.
Entries will be accepted at the Atlantic Cape Community Art Gallery between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. May 28-30. All artwork must be properly labeled and ready to hang with standard wire. All pieces will remain on display for the full duration of the exhibit. Guidelines and artwork labels are available on the county's website.
A monetary prize of $100 will be presented to each first-place winner from the Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational Services. Award ribbons will be presented for first place through honorable mention as determined by the judges.
