"We are so thrilled to bring our unique perspective to the art gallery at The Heldrich. Monmouth County has many high quality artists who find inspiration from the surrounding of the county. We are happy to share this point of view with others in New Jersey," said Mary Eileen Fouratt, Executive Director of MCAC.
The exhibit is part of an ongoing partnership between New Brunswick Development Corporation (Devco) and The Heldrich to provide public exhibit space for, and to celebrate, New Jersey artists. All of the art is available for purchase.
"A View from the Shore" will run through October 31, 2012.
