The show and sale will be Saturday, April 8 from 12:00 to 8:00 pm and Sunday, April 9 from 1:00 to 6:00 pm at 123 Main Street, Flemington. An artists' reception will be held Saturday from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, with live music and refreshments. The public is welcome. Each artwork will sell for $100, with half going to the artist and the other half to Friends of Historic Flemington. We expect more than 100 paintings, collages and mixed media items. Most of the artwork will be no larger than 11 x 14 inches and no smaller than 8 x 10". We will have some surprises too! Artists will portray subjects of meaning to them, using a variety of media, from paint, pencil, pastel, to photography, fabric and collage. Purchased artwork may be taken home immediately. Friends of Historic Flemington supports adaptive reuse of our County seat's historic buildings. Its members believe the demolition of the Union Hotel and three adjacent buildings in the heart of the borough's historic district is misguided and unnecessary. Learn more about the group at: www.
