CCC Issues Call Out For Senior Citizen Artists

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Camden County residents 60 years old and older are invited to submit their original work to the 52nd annual Senior Citizens Juried Art Contest and Exhibition.

Artists at any level of skill or experience are invited to participate, including amateurs and non-professionals as well as working artists. Artists may submit one entry that has been created within the past three years, is an original creation of the artist, and has not been submitted previously to a county or state art show.

Categories of work include acrylic painting; craft; digital art; drawing; mixed media; oil painting; pastel; print; photography; sculpture; and watercolor.

Artwork will be judged by an independent panel of artists. First-place winners in all categories will advance to compete at the state level in the New Jersey Senior Citizens Art Show.

Artwork will be accepted in the Marlin Gallery in Lincoln Hall on the Blackwood Campus of Camden County College on Tuesday, June 26, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Wednesday, June 27, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and Thursday, June 28, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The exhibit opens July 17 with a meet-the-artists reception and awards ceremony from 1 to 3 p.m. and runs to August 16, 2018, at the Marlin Gallery.
