Artists are invited to submit work for an exhibit at the Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey, from August through October 2019.  New this year will be the addition of a Youth Category for artists under the age of 18, and a Sculpture/3-D category.  Selected entries will be featured in the Morris Museum’s spacious Hedley Gallery and the three top prize winners also will be shown at Studio 7 Fine Art Gallery in Bernardsville.
There will be a reception at the Morris Museum on September 12 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. where prizes will be awarded.
