Pictures from An Exhibition: Ellarsie Open XXXI at the Trenton City Museum
Tonight was the VIP opening reception for the Ellarsie Open XXXI, an annual juried show at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarsie Mansion in Trenton, NJ. If you missed the VIP night, the show opens to the public tomorrow with an opening reception from 6-9 PM.
This is my second museum show ever (with my first being at last year's Art of the State at the State Museum of Pennsylvania) so I was very excited to see the space and the other works in the show. The Trenton City Museum is located in beautiful and historic Ellarsie Mansion in the middle of a lovely park in downtown Trenton. My artwork Jangala (pictured below) is on display and sale at the show for $1250. If you are interested in purchasing please contact myself or the museum.

A Short History of the Ellarslie Open
During the early years of the museum, the focus was on acquiring items to expand the decorative arts collection. Museum director Ben Whitmire (1978-1988) changed the focus to include temporary exhibitions of contemporary art with an emphasis on Trenton area artists. In 1982, he established the Ellarslie Open to encourage local artists to submit their work for judging and display. Since then, the Trenton City Museum has displayed the work of over seven hundred local and regional artists, many selected on the basis of work they submitted to the Ellarslie Open. Today, the Ellarslie Open has become a significant exhibition in its own right, drawing on the work of professional artists from the tri-state region and beyond, while encouraging and recognizing emerging artists.
Ellarslie Open XXXI
Over two hundred artists from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and beyond submitted more than four hundred works to the 2014 Ellarslie Open Juried Exhibit. Because space at Ellarslie is limited, the juror selected less than 25% of the submissions — one hundred and two pieces — for the show. The results will make for another outstanding exhibit at the Trenton City Museum.
