Official Press Release:

Arts Guild New Jersey is pleased to present “Nexus”, an International Juried exhibition. This exhibit will feature 40 artists from New Jersey, New York, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, and Washington DC. The juror for the Nexus show was Dorrie Papademetriou, who is currently the Director of Exhibitions & Collections at the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, New Jersey. The exhibition, which opens on September 14th and runs through October 9th, 2014 will have a free, public reception on Sunday, September 14th, 1-4 PM, at Arts Guild New Jersey, 1670 Irving Street, Rahway, NJ 07065. Gallery Hours are Mon-Thurs 10am-3pm, Fri: 10am to 1pm, Sat & Sun: 1-4pm or by appointment for groups of 10 or more. The exhibition is wheelchair accessible.

For the past several years, Arts Guild NJ presented NEXUS NEW JERSEY, a juried exhibit open only to artists living in New Jersey. This successful exhibit has now led us to the wider horizon of an international juried exhibit, and, while several artists from other countries submitted work for the exhibit, only artists from the USA were ultimately selected by our juror.

Our plans are to make this new NEXUS exhibit a staple. It will most likely be offered every two years as an on-going effort to bring fine art from around the country and the globe to our Gallery.

The artists for the Nexus exhibit are from all over the United States. Featured artists for this exhibit are: MaryAnn Goodhue (AL), Walt Curlee (AL), Xiao Fu(CA), Ronnie Cramer (CO), James Brown Jr.(Washington DC), Joe Krawczyk (FL), Sarah Bielski (GA), James Calvin (MO), Michael Teters (NJ), Janice Gossman (NJ), Jane George (NJ), William A. Davis (NJ), Tania Sen (NJ), Amy Becker (NJ), Indu Ramkumar (NJ), Bill Ross (NJ), Tony Scutari (NJ), Richard Earl (NJ), Kathy Cantwell (NJ), Len Merlo (NJ), Pauline Chernichaw (NJ), Gerald Mantell (NJ), Linda Hirschman (NJ), Matty Wade (NJ), Maryann Cannon (NJ), Ron Brown (NJ), Nicholas Mockoviak (NJ), Andrew Werth (NJ), Michael Zambelli (NJ), Grace Zambelli (NJ), Dawn DiCicco (NJ), Eva Marie Fitzsimmons (NJ), Maggie Moran (NJ), Susanna Baker (NJ), Danielle Jonas (NJ), Katarzyna Iwaniec (NJ), Alan Walker (NJ), Donna Conklin King (NJ), Paul Mordetsky (NJ) and Dan McCormack (NJ).
