County Executive Dan Benson invited seniors throughout Mercer County to submit artwork to the 2025 Mercer County Senior Citizen Art Show (MCSAS), to be held this summer.
A joint project of the county’s Division of Culture and Heritage and its Office on Aging, the show is open to all Mercer County residents 60 or older. The show will be on display from July 1 through August 4 at the Conference Center at Mercer, located on the campus of Mercer County Community College, located at 1200 Old Trenton Rd, West Windsor.
“The annual Senior Art Show is a spectacular display of the creativity and talent of Mercer County residents,” said Benson. “I’m proud that we’re continuing this beloved event, and I can’t wait to stop by and see the artwork for myself.”
Applicants may submit one piece of art in any of the following 11 categories: acrylic, craft, digital art, mixed media, oil, pastel, photography, print, sculpture, watercolor, and works on paper. All submissions must be the original work created within the last three years and not previously entered in a Mercer County Senior Citizen Art Show or the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show (NJSAS).
The registration deadline is June 13. Artists may register by completing an online registration form or by filling out a print registration form and mailing it to the Mercer County Division of Culture & Heritage, 640 S. Broad St. Trenton, NJ 08611 – RM 417.
Artists must drop off their registered artwork at the Conference Center at Mercer on June 25 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
