There will be more exhibits elsewhere this season, watch this space, but this is the last of the season at Terhune, since the barn is unheated and the audience diminishes on the farm in winter. Back again in March next year.
The show is large and varied, and I can't do justice to it here, just give you a few tastes of some of the artists whose work was hanging. It ranges from mixed media drawing, painting, bronze casting, stonework, stitching, ceramics, amazing range of talents. So I'll just whip a few, very few compared to the exhibit, pix by you and invite you if you're in the central NJ area to stop by before early December and see for yourself.
Some of us will be there again over the weekend of November 14 and 15, when there will be pie (!) and wine and artists meeting and greeting. The pie and wine tasting are a big Fall event at the orchard, and we're invited to be there, too. I plan to demo some block carving on Sunday afternoon. So that would be a good time to meet, greet, enjoy pie, wine and art!
Today was the first time I hung work in a group show with the local Creative Collective, and a lot of fun it was. If you want to know more about Creative Collective, and you're in this region, central NJ, go here.
I took in two stitched pieces, one Flyover and one Weed, and they took their places in a huge array of styles and artforms in the gallery/barn/wine tasting area of Terhune Orchard.
Organizing getting under way. Considering there were about twenty artists involved, it was not as chaotic as you might expect!
I found recently that in addition to all sorts of fruit and flower and vegetable crops, Terhune Orchards now a thriving vineyard. So since my art is hung right where happy people will be tasting wine at various major events in the next few weeks, this sounds like an ideal pairing.
And no, Pam Mount, one of the owners, and an old acquaintance from YW days, is not paying me to do this! but it's a thank you from me personally for her hosting of our work. Nice environment, happy atmosphere all around. If you want to know more, and you're local in central NJ, go here
Here's a brief picture tour, but there's a lot more to the place than I can show you here! it's a family owned and run farm, everyone works, and their family animals get their full credit, too! The old white house is the family home, and there are barns and the store, and pick your own apples, and zinnias, and it's a great place to visit.
And the Collective is a great group to hang out with. Good day today.
