Community Calendar

The Gallery at Mercer County Community College is hosting the Mercer County Artists Exhibition through July 1 .

This annual juried exhibition showcases the remarkable talent thriving within our local community. Each year, artists who live, work, or study in Mercer County are invited to submit their work for a chance to be featured at the West Windsor Campus Gallery and receive several distinguished honors, including Best in Show, Juror's Choice, and the prestigious Mercer County Culture and Heritage Commission Purchase Award.

This year's event drew nearly 200 submissions, with 30 pieces by 27 distinct artists selected for display. The works are a vibrant and dynamic mix of size and media, ranging from traditional painting and drawing, to printmaking, ceramic and other mixed media works, highlighting the diverse voices and creative depth of Mercer County's artistic community.

Sponsors are the Mercer County Culture and Heritage Commission and Blick Art Materials. The 2026 juror was Elizabeth Massa.

The exhibit can be viewed during the Gallery's regular hours:

Monday/Wednesday 12:00PM - 6:00PM

Tuesday/Thursday 10:00AM - 4:00PM

Friday 12:00PM - 4:00PM

The exhibition Through Your Eyes, In My Mind explores the ways in which one’s identity is created through their experiences. Illustrated by a series of personal narratives, the installation examines how self-perception is informed by external forces, such as relationship to mental health, gender identity, or religious background. It showcases works by Mercer County Community College photography students and alumni, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationship to identity.

Participating artists are Gigi Wilburn, Dani Paglione, Benj Nelson, Elizabeth Barrett, Pepper Smith and Julia Colonna.

An Opening Reception will be held Tuesday June 9.

This is the third show conceived, curated, and installed by the Gallery Club which is lead by its president, Julia Colonna, and currently consists of the artists participating in this show. This show, and the two previous shows, are a testament to the dedication of the gallery club’s members to the artist community of Trenton and to their desire to not only pursue their work, but to also learn the invaluable life-skill of collaborating and forming community, a skill that will serve them well long after MCCC.

The Gallery is open 9 am to 7 pm Monday - Thursday from and Saturday 10 am - 4 pm on Saturday. Closed on Holidays
