The juried show will be exhibited from June 9 through July 31 at the Atlantic Cape Community College Art Gallery, Building D, 5100 Black Horse Pike, Mays Landing. A closing reception will be held 1 p.m. Thursday, July 31.
“This is a time-honored event that continues to attract outstanding talent among our seniors. I encourage residents of all ages to visit this annual exhibit. You won’t be disappointed,” Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson said.
Professional and non-professional artists will compete in a variety of categories, including acrylic, craft, digital art, mixed media, oil painting, pastels, print, photography, sculpture, watercolor and works on paper. Winning entries will advance to the state competition.
Entries will be accepted at the Atlantic Cape Community Art Gallery 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 27-30. 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 website.
