Art is one of the most powerful forces on earth. It can change how we see ourselves and each other, and it can change how we see the world. Art has the power to inspire, to challenge, to heal, and to create new ways of thinking about ourselves and our world. Art is a language that everyone speaks— whether you're an artist or not. And we believe art is for everyone. A tax-deductible gift of any amount will help the Hunterdon Art Museum continue to be your museum where transformative and enriching experiences take place for visitors, students, the community, and beyond, as well as to bridge gaps to ensure what we do is accessible to all. Here are a few ways we're doing just that: n World-class contemporary exhibitions that stimulate the senses. n iPads and QR codes positioned around the galleries where visitors can hear from exhibiting artist and curators, which offers valuable context and allows for a deeper relationship with the work and artist. n Collaborating with thirty schools showing art by nearly 1,000 children in our Young Artists Showcase. n Reopening of ArtZone, a drop-in, family-friendly space open to the public where all ages and abilities are welcome to come and create. n Maintaining a digital library on our website of previous artist talks, panel discussions, opening receptions, and immersive virtual-reality tours of our exhibitions. n Expanding the use of our beautiful terrace, a gathering spot for the entire community, with exciting offerings like dance classes and ArtBar. n Free Museum admission to families and individuals who receive benefits through SNAP, WFNJ, the Child Care Subsidy Program and/or WIC. n Designating free seats in our classes and workshops to those currently enrolled in the New Jersey Families First Program and their families.

On clear days, the sun seems brighter, the sky more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes; the moon is a wonderful apparition, rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big. The September storms… are exhilarating…" ~ Faith Baldwin "Let's all be nice to September." ~ Nitya Prakash T e W k s B u r y h i s T o r i c a l s o c i e T y h o s T s 3 2 n d T e W k s B u r y a r T s h o W a n d s a l e The 32nd Tewksbury Art Show and Sale benefiting the Tewksbury Historical Society, chaired by Andy Calamaras, will take place Sat- urday, October 5 thru Saturday, October 12, at the Zion Lutheran Church, Christian Education Center, 18 Miller Avenue in Oldwick, 08858.
