Mercer County Artists Exhibit Seeks Entries in Multiple Mediums

 

Artists aged 18 or older who live, work or study in Mercer County, N.J., are invited to submit work to be considered for this year's "Mercer County Artists" exhibit. Artists may enter one or two pieces in any media except photography. (The county hosts a separate "Mercer County Photography" exhibit).

Jurying will take place on Saturday, February 13 at The Gallery at Mercer County Community College. Artwork should be dropped off at The Galley between 9:30 a.m. and noon. Work not selected for the exhibit must be picked up that same afternoon between 3:45 and 5:00 p.m.

Awards and prizes, including the Utrecht Paints Best in Show, the 8th AnnuAl West Windsor Arts Council Prize, and the coveted Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission Purchase Awards, will be announced at the show's Opening Reception, which will take place on Wednesday, February 24, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The show will be on display through April 1.

This year's juror is C.J. Mugavero, owner of The Artful Deposit Gallery, located in historic Bordentown, N.J. She opened the first Artful Deposit Gallery in Monmouth County in 1986, and has been a gallery owner and art dealer ever since. More about her gallery and roster of nationally recognized artists can be viewed at www.theartfuldeposit.com.
