Excitement is building as the Monmouth County Arts Council in collaboration with Brookdale Community College presents the 2010 Teen Arts Festival on March 18 & 19, 2010 on the campus of Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, NJ.

An exciting and unique event, the Monmouth County Arts Council's Teen Arts Festival is an exceptional opportunity for teens aged 13 to 19 to experience all disciplines of the arts and to participate in workshops, performances, exhibits, and critiques.

Nearly 1800 teens will attend, representing 29 different middle and high schools in Monmouth County, both public and private. During the two festival days, over 20 artists/teachers presented workshops and master classes in their individual specialties, including drama, filmmaking, voice, acting, instrumental music and more.

An Opening Reception will be held Wednesday, March 17 6 - 8 p.m. The public can enjoy an exhibition "Figures of Speech" by Junior and Senior students during the entire month of March in the Center for Visual Arts Gallery. The talent of these students is amazing! You'll be inspired by their work. To see pieces from the exhibition go to http://ux.brookdalecc.edu/fac/art/gallery.htm

The Monmouth County Arts Council gratefully acknowledges the continued support of the administration at Brookdale Community College, and the use of the campus facilities and support personnel.
