Imaging Aging A Juried Art Show October 4 - 31
The Watchung Arts Center, in conjunction
with the Northern New Jersey
Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, will present an art show titled "Imaging Aging." We have at least
fourteen or more events scheduled for the month of October. We assume that 1000-1500
people will see the show. Things will be done differently this time, in that, we
are incorporating the written word in the show and the jurors will not be familiar to you. |
