(CLINTON, NJ) -- The Hunterdon Art Museum is pleased to announce the Annual Members Show featuring the diverse talents of 35 artists from September 21, 2025 to January 11, 2026. This annual exhibition features artists working in a wide range of media including ceramics, sculpture, glass, wood, fiber, printmaking, oil and acrylic painting, photography, and collage.
The show was juried by Donna Gustafson, a freelance curator, critic, and writer based in New Jersey. Previously, she served as Chief Curator at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, Director of Exhibitions at the Hunterdon Art Museum, and Chief Curator at the American Federation of Arts in New York. She has a PhD in Art History.
Donna Gustafson began the jurying process with 84 artists and nearly 400 slides. “The exhibition that I chose is a personal and perhaps eccentric view of the state of art in this corner of the art world,” Gustafson noted. “Each individual work stands alone, but the astute viewer may notice themes—nature, identity, community, politics – that connect the art.”
The selected artists are Kelly Banfield, Nanette Reynolds Beachner, Gary R Becker, Richard Begbie, Bonnie Berkowitz, Mary Crenshaw, Roger Dixon, Sheryl Renee Dobson, Jose Ney Mila Espinosa, Karen Fadool, Larry Felder, Chuck Genco, Andrea Gianchiglia, Bryan Gorski, Elizabeth Jordan, Gilmore Ludy Knowles, Olga Gobernik Kon, Susan MacQueen, Lorraine Manger, Denise Jill Marshall, Tracy Swift, David Orban, Sonya Patullo, Jeanine Pennell, Erica Pizza, Lauren Rosenblum, Ellen Schiffman, Kenneth Schnall, Emily Strong, Skeff Thomas, James Westman.
There will be an Opening Reception on Sunday, September 21 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. The Hunterdon Art Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, from 11:00am to 5:00pm. The museum is located at 7 Lower Center Street in Clinton, New Jersey
