ArtYard is an incubator for creative expression and a catalyst for collaborations that reveal the transformational power of art.
Exemplifying that power is one of their more recent exhibitions, "Synchronizing Uncertainty" by artist Brian House.
House has created an interactive exhibition wherein a visitor's presence brings the art to life.
Jersey Arts visits ArtYard to speak with Founder and Executive Director, Jill Kearney, about the importance of art and connection. And to experience their galleries for themselves.
"Synchronizing Uncertainty" is on display through September 21, 2025. ArtYard is located at 13 Front Street in Frenchtown, New Jersey.
