The Smithville Mansion Annex Gallery will host both the Burlington County Senior Art Show and selections from the Burlington County Teen Arts Festival now through Saturday, June 22. More than 70 works of art in a variety of mediums will be shown in both exhibits.
This year’s Senior Art Show features original designs from a record 46 artists, including 23 professional artists and 23 non-professionals. All the participating artists are 60 years or older and residents of Burlington County. The art includes acrylic, oil and watercolor paintings, sculpture, photography, pastels and chalk drawing, mix media and craft.
All senior submissions are being exhibited in the Annex Gallery and will be judged in separate categories for professional and non-professional artists. First place winners from each category will be accepted to the New Jersey Senior Art Show later this year.
The Teen Arts exhibit is being held in Smithville Mansion’s recreation hall and features 28 prizewinners from the Teen Arts Festival in March. The 28 pieces were selected by a panel of professional adjudicators and will also be judged in a statewide Teen Arts competition later this summer.
A reception for the Teen Arts exhibit will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 19.
The Smithville Mansion Annex Gallery is located in Historic Smithville Park in Eastampton inside the former Georgian estate of Hezekiah Smith, the industrialist and inventor who purchased the village of Shreveville on the Rancocas Creek and transformed it into a thriving industrial village known as Smithville.
