Water color show planned in Morristown

MORRISTOWN — New Jersey Water Color Society will present their annual members show at the Mayo Performing Arts Center Art Upstairs Gallery, through Aug. 9.
The show is juried by Dr. Keith Smith.
A Meet-the-Artist reception will take place on Sunday, July 17, from 3 pm - 5 pm. The reception is free and open to the public.
A member show was arranged for the fall of 1938 and the First Annual Open Exhibition was held at the Centre of The Arts in East Orange in February, 1939. World War II soon intervened and the actively growing group went into hibernation for the duration. The 50th Anniversary of New Jersey Water Color Society was celebrated in 1988 with a traveling show held at the site of its first organizational meeting, the Montclair Museum, as well as the Monmouth Museum and the Noyes Museum. This year the Society commemorates its 60th Anniversary with the publishing of Portraits/2 which features brief biographies and examples of the art of each elected member.

The Art Upstairs Gallery is open two hours prior to performances and by appointment.
