BIG Show TONIGHT

Tonight is the opening reception for "The First 40..." -- a retrospective exhibition of works from Mercer County's permanent collection. About 170 works will be on display, spanning the 40 years since the County's Cultural and Heritage Commission was first established in 1970. Less than 1/2 of the work collected over the years is on display, and artists are inquiring: "Is my piece included?" Below is the list of artists included in THIS exhibit. We, of course, hope to do more in the future!

The exhibit takes place at ARTWORKS, 19 Everett Alley in Trenton, NJ, tonight, July 9, from 6 - 9 pm. (The terrific ARTWORKS center is located just off of Rte. 1 South (the Market Street exit), directly across Stockton Street from the state's DMV building. This is a "see and be seen event", so we hope to "see" you all there!
