Art has the power to motivate us and turn thinking into doing, fueling innovation and leading to fresh ideas, scientific breakthroughs, and technological improvements. Art challenges us to reflect on ourselves and our society as a whole, while helping us think about new ideas, confront problems, and consider possibilities. In the midst of tragedy, art helps us heal, and it can also help us celebrate and commemorate. Art can have a purpose in and of itself; it can inspire, bring joy, or give solace. The Mission of the Hunterdon Art Museum is to engage people with contemporary art, craft, and design in ways that educate, challenge, and inspire. The Vision of the Hunterdon Art Museum will be an inclusive and essential community resource that fosters transformative experiences and enriches the lives of everyone through contemporary art exhibitions and programming. The Core Values of the Hunterdon Art Museum are: Inclusiveness, Accessibility and Creativity. Find out about our wonderful events, exhibitions and classes at: www.HunterdonArtMuseum.org. "Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people." ~ Leo Burne
