"Last year we received a record-breaking 120 entries and about 50 paintings were accepted," Executive Director Rosalyn Lifshin said.

Atlantic County artist Rita Michalenko won Best of Show for her pastel "Fallen Oak" and went on to host a solo exhibit in August 2012. The Juried Art Show is a great venue for artists to display their works and go on to be featured in gallery exhibitions.

All work will be for sale. An awards ceremony will be held Friday, Nov. 9, 7 pm to 8:30 pm. The public is invited.
