The Ellarslie Open
The anticipation of the Ellarslie Open creates an atmosphere akin to Christmas – in June. The Trenton City Museum is electric with excitement as each stage of the event reveals itself and all Trustees are on hand to assure its success.
We pride ourselves on every aspect of the exhibition and feel that the artists, members, and guests know it. The selection of our juror is expansive and exhaustive; our jurors never fail to surprise us. Thank you, Walter. Great job.

Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the Ellarslie Open and the 50th anniversary of the Trenton Museum Society.
As we look to the future, we see more magic. Stay tuned.
Special thanks to the EO39 coordinators, Debbie Gorczycki and Sarah Unger, whose attention to detail and follow-up was remarkable, and to Debbie Oliver, whose amazing eye guided the installation of this exhibition. Our hospitality team is the best, and always delights with gastronomic surprises. Jan Applebaum’s signature branding makes the EO immediately recognizable.
Our appreciation goes out to all who supported us through the pandemic, still lingering on. We hope you enjoy EO39 as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
On my part there is no Museum event that makes me more proud, and I am deeply indebted to the Board of Trustees and our volunteers for their unflagging support and loyalty to the work of the Museum and to the City of Trenton.
Sincerely,
Joan Perkes President Trenton Museum Society
