Members' Non-Juried Exhibition & Sale on view at The Center for Contemporary Art

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - July 17, 2018 - PRLog -- The Center for Contemporary Art is pleased to announce its annual Members'
Non-Juried Exhibition & Sale, a yearly opportunity for members to showcase their artwork in any and all media. The variety and range of entries is a testament to the diversity and creativity of The Center's community of artists. This year, one hundred and thirteen participated, submitting works in painting, pastel, charcoal, ink, graphite, photography, mixed media, sculpture and ceramics.

Kristen Evangelista, Director of the William Paterson University Galleries since 2011, served as the judge for the Exhibition. In selecting this year's awards, Evangelista says, she was, "drawn to artworks that push the boundaries of their materials while building upon a mastery of techniques and articulating new visions and directions." Best of Show, the "Sally Bush Memorial Award", was presented to Thomas W. Martin (Edison) for his egg-tempera painting, Portrait of Monica; Awards of Excellence were given to Joe Denequolo (Mahwah) and Susanna Kopchains (Far Hills); Honorable Mentions were received by Oscar Beck (West Milford), Doris Ettlinger (Hampton), Grace Modla (Holmdel), Naomi Nierenberg (Somerset), and Lois Westerfield (Somerset). "This exhibit," stated Evangelista, "reaffirms the important role of the arts to reflect and spark our imagination."

The exhibition, which is open to the public, will be on display through August 31, 2018. The Center for Contemporary Art is located at 2020 Burnt Mills Road in Bedminster, NJ. (908) 234-2345 www.ccabedminster.org
