The talents of 28 Mercer County artists will be on display through Aug. 24, at the Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) in “Mercer County Artists Exhibition 2022,” a juried exhibition open to visual artists who live, work or attend school in Mercer County.
The MCCC Gallery is located on the second floor of the Communications Building on MCCC’s West Windsor campus at 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Awards were presented during the opening reception July 20, with representatives from the college and the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission on hand to make presentations. Merit Prizes, including Best in Show, were sponsored by Blick Art Materials. Purchase Awards from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission will become part of the county’s permanent collection.
The exhibition features 30 works in a variety of media selected from 173 pieces submitted by 71 artists.
The juror for the show is artist, designer and educator Jonathan Conner from Trenton. Conner is the public projects manager for Trenton’s downtown visual arts center, Artworks Trenton.
Gallery hours for this show are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to noon and Tuesday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Hours will be expanded as volunteers are added to the staff.
The exhibition is co-sponsored by and supported through a grant from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission.
