2023 Senior Citizens Art Show Juried Art Contest and Exhibition
Camden County’s 57th Annual Senior Citizens Juried Art Contest & Exhibition was held in August. County residents age 60 and older, at any level of skills or experience, were invited to participate, including amateurs and non-professionals as well as working artists. The contest received 101 submissions in 11 categories. Artwork was adjudicated by an independent panel of professional artists, and first place winners advanced to the New Jersey State Senior Citizens Art Show, being held September 23 to October 27, 2023. Camden County sent 20 first place pieces to the state show.
