“Revolutionary Monmouth County - Freedom’s Battleground”
2026 is the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America! America’s Semiquincentennial will be celebrated all across the nation and in the County of Monmouth, New Jersey. To highlight Monmouth County’s role in the American Revolution and to showcase the talent and creativity of Monmouth County residents, the MonmouthNJ 250 Committee is hosting an art competition for professional and non-professional artists.
My painting “Hornet’s Nest” which depicts an interpretation of the historic event “Loyalists Raid Pleasant Valley - June 28, 1778” is in this show with 30 other artworks showing moments in Revolutionary Monmouth County history, between 1775 and 1783.
