Tonight the Boatworks hosted the opening reception for the 10th Annual Jersey Shore Juried Art Show. Exhibition juror Margaret O'Reilly from the NJ State Museum in Trenton selected 82 artworks, a mix of photography, painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, fiber art, and sculpture, from the almost 180 pieces that were submitted to the show.
The exhibition was hung in all three rooms of the building. We estimate that around 300 people came through over the course of the two hour reception. Our newly painted floors got quite a workout.
The BAC had put out a request for people in attendance to bring something for the refreshment tables, and quite a few dishes came through the front door. Local artist Keith Calmes provided a lovely musical background to the event.
The juror chose six pieces in the show to receive awards.
