West Windsor Arts presents R8 Works Fundraising Art Show

originally published: 02/22/2025

(PRINCETON JUNCTION, NJ) -- West Windsor Arts presents the GR8 Works Fundraising Art Show, an exhibition and sale of original 8 x 8 inch artworks, which benefits the art center's Artist in Residence programs. The show runs from March 4 to April 5, 2025.

“This is a very special show for us because it brings together talented local artists enthusiastically showing their support for the arts by donating 50 or 100 percent of the proceeds from their artwork sales to West Windsor Arts,” says Aylin Green, Executive Director, West Windsor Arts. Participating artists gain recognition for their work by being part of a popular show, and also contribute to an organization dedicated to elevating artistic expression within the community.

“The response has been tremendous,” adds Green, “We reached out to our community of artists to be a part of the GR8 Works Art Show by creating an original 8 x 8 inch artwork. The works of more than 100 artists will be on display and for sale. It’s a great opportunity for art lovers to pick up original work at a great price.”

The sale, which runs from March 4 through April 5, features artwork from across a variety of styles and mediums—including landscapes, abstracts and florals—each available for just $88. The event will officially kick off with an opening reception on Friday, March 7, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm, where attendees will have the opportunity to meet the artists and explore the unique collection of works available for purchase. Sales will be conducted both online and in person starting March 4.

“Through this fundraiser, we also hope to continue growing the Artist in Residence program, now in its second year,” says Green. “The Artist in Residence program brings great energy and creativity to the West Windsor Arts community with open studio time, workshops, artist talks and more.”

Supporting the Artist in Residence Program - West Windsor Arts launched its Artist in Residence program in 2024 to create an inspiring space where artists can work, teach and engage with the community. Through this interactive program, the arts center can offer the community more enriching experiences.

This year’s Artist in Residence, Dr. Maria Lupo, is a nationally recognized artist and board-certified art therapist whose work is deeply influenced by myth and fairy tales. As both an artist and therapist, Maria uses creative expression to tell stories and help others unlock the healing benefits of art. She will also serve as the juror for the upcoming Member Show at West Windsor Arts with a theme of “your visual journey through art.” Anyone can become a member and submit work for consideration by February 25, 2025.

Maria also invites community members to stop by the art center during her studio hours to chat about art and learn more about her career as an art therapist. “From the first time I walked into this space, I felt really comfortable,” says Maria. “The vibe of this place is beautiful—so artsy and soothing—and the roster of classes is amazing.”
