Last year's 2024 Gloucester County Senior Citizen Art Show Awards ceremony, hosted at Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ), awarded seniors within Gloucester County for their artistic achievements. The ceremony was held on Aug. 7, 2024, and included a presentation from Gloucester County Commissioner and Senior Services liaison Jim Jefferson. Awardees placed in various categories based on their skill level (professional or nonprofessional) and chosen medium.
