“We are proud to have been able to conduct this year’s Senior Art Show virtually,” said Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., “which enabled us to highlight the creativity of our senior artists. The talent displayed by our senior artists is truly amazing and the artwork is inspiring. Essex County has a thriving fine arts community and our Senior Art Show allows our older artists, both professionals and non-professionals, with an opportunity to display their work. This is an excellent event for us to promote the arts and inspire our residents to use their talents.”
