Exciting NEWS:
10th Annual Expo Call to Artists is now OPEN!
As the Chairperson for the Manville Arts Council’s 10th Annual Art Expo, it is with great excitement that I announce that applications are open for Expo 2026.
This year, in celebration of our 10th Anniversary, we are seeking work centered on memory and reflection. We hope this theme excites you as much as it does us, especially for those of you who have been with us over the years. As we look back on the Expo's development into a platform that supports New Jersey artists, use this time to share your recent work.
Online registration is now open, and we will accept submissions through Friday, March 20th. Please see the link below for submission guidelines. Jury selection will occur in early April, and all artists accepted to show in Expo 2026 will be notified no later than April 10th. Artwork will be on display at the Manville Branch of the Somerset County Public Library from May 1st through May 29th.
To submit your application, click the button below. If you have any comments or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at seanz@manvillearts.org. I look forward to seeing all of your submissions.
Best regards,
Sean Zujkowski
Chairperson, Art Expo 2026
