Each artist in this exhibition shows techniques of abstract expressionism and traditional process such as Cyanotype.  

"Interchangeable Lens: Frame of Mind "will be documented as one of many countless successes of Alfa's New Brunswick Art Salon (NBAS) program since 2010.  The exhibition can be viewed from Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00am to 6:00pm at Alfa Art Gallery, located at 108 Church Street in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Alfa Art Gallery utilizes New Brunswick Art Salons (NBAS) to unify the local art community and beyond. Since starting the program in 2010 Alfa Gallery has made a point to include a salon dedicated to singularly to photography. Over the years, the NBAS has not only exhibited works from both established and emerging artists but has also made fruitful connections locally and internationally through its successful programs. Within this non-profit organization, Alfa Art Gallery maintains its mission to uplift artists by providing an open and innovative environment. These exhibitions are free and open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday from 11:00am to 6:00pm.      

Gallery Opening Reception: Considering our new norms as a country, the in-person opening reception is a VIP and invitation-only event which efficiently limits the capacity for the gallery. However, Alfa Art Gallery will be holding a virtual opening reception that is an open event.  The links to this opening can be found on Alfa Art Gallery's Website and all social media closer to exhibition opening.  

Alfa's staff and interns are working to keep all visitors safe and healthy and have implemented safety measures along with the CDC guidelines. These include wearing face masks indoors, maintaining limited capacity, and providing a clean and safe environment.  

With the assistance of grants from organizations such as Amboy Bank, Magyar Bank, Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick City Center, Middlesex County Cultural, and Heritage Commission, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Pfizer Inc. Alfa Art is confident that all who come to the 2020 Oil Painting New Brunswick Art Salon will leave with a greater appreciation of the arts and the gallery's showcasing of a variety of artists.
