Ellarslie Open XXX
Juried Exhibit at Ellarslie
April 26 - June 9, 2013
Established in 1982 to encourage local artists to submit their work for judging and display, the Ellarslie Open juried exhibit has grown to be one of the region’s most prestigious shows. Known for the quality of its entries, the show has attracted and displayed the work of artists from New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and beyond and is a favorite of local and regional art patrons. Many of the temporary fine arts exhibits at the Trenton City Museum have resulted from the exposure the artist received by exhibiting in the Ellarslie Open.
Artists may submit recently-produced works in all media except film or video within the parameters spelled out by our prospectus. Download the Prospectus.

In 2010 she was the recipient of the Clinton Hill/Allen Tran Foundation Curatorial Innovation Grant and in 2011 held a four-month fellowship at the Clark Art Institute, where she
