Welcome to the Art Society of Monmouth County
Our mission is to promote the arts and encourage creativity.
We are an active group of artists and photographers, many with professional designations,
who love learning, enjoy creating art, and pay it forward with
scholarships for college art students.
Please join us at our lively and informative meetings with lectures and
demonstrations by professional artists. We meet monthly during the Fall and Spring.
For information on upcoming meetings, please click here:
As a member, you may participate in any of up to six major Art Exhibitions in
October, November, January, March, April, and occasionally Summer. All exhibits are judged by professionals who award prizes and recognition ribbons.
Our next exhibit in March is our annual "Oldies but Goodies" Art Show. This year we added a category for "original forgeries" called Copy Cats***! If you've copied a famous painting, we'd love to see it. Monetary awards will be given in each of our categories. Details are here.
For sponsored exhibits, we provide monetary awards in five categories (3 per category)
to 15 artists. To learn more, click on the tab:
