We can’t wait to show your creativity this year!
The Manville Arts Council is proud to announce the 8th Annual Art Expo. This juried Art Exhibition is FREE and open to all New Jersey artists aged 16 and up. Artists may submit up to three pieces of their own original art.
This year’s event will continue to build on and expand our creative community. I want to personally extend this invitation for you to submit your latest work and be a part of the excitement. Online registration is open and submissions will be accepted until March 29th. Jury selection will occur in early April, and all artists will be notified via email by April 9th if their work has been selected for Expo 2024. Artwork will be on display at the Manville branch of the Somerset County Library from May 3 to May 31.
Over the last 8 years, we have been focused on growing our organization and bringing this premier event to our community. We are committed to building on each year’s success and continually improve the event for both the artists and viewers. We have worked with the Manville Library to install a new hanging system that allows for a gallery-level display of the artwork. We are truly excited to see how your work will look on display.
We’d like to see how you’re growing and evolving as an artist. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please email me.
Creatively yours,
