OTHER CATEGORIES:
Artists (adults, and youth under the ages of 18) are invited to submit works featuring the landscapes, flora, fauna, natural, cultural, or historic resources of the 4-state Highlands region, which stretches from Connecticut through New York and New Jersey, to Pennsylvania. Please note that works depicting flora and fauna taken outside of the Highlands will be accepted as long as those species are also found within the Highlands region. See maps and municipalities here: https://highlandsart.org/about-the-highlands . Jurors will consider two- and three-dimensional paintings, drawings, pastels, original prints (lithographs, etchings, monoprints, serigraphs etc.), mixed-media, sculptures and photographs. Abstract images are also accepted, as long as they are inspired by the Highlands.
Proceeds support the NJ Highlands Coalition's mission to help preserve the natural and cultural resources of this remarkable region of our State that supplies clean drinking water to over 6.2 million people.
New Jersey Highlands Coalition exhibits highlight the intersection of the Highlands’ natural beauty and the Coalition’s mission to protect the places that inspire our creativity. Exhibits feature an impressive mix of photography, oil and watercolor paintings, mixed media and sculpture. The art focuses on the landscapes, flora, fauna and historic and cultural resources of the four-state Highlands Region, with particular emphasis on the New Jersey Highlands.
The artists who are inspired by the natural beauty of the Highlands are advocates for protecting the Highlands natural and cultural resources as much as we who strive for protective policies. For beauty is worth fighting for to protect. The landscapes of the Highlands, the great biodiversity of plants and animals, the broken, half-hidden remnants of the early industrial age that has since returned to forest, the granite outcrops and strewn, truck-sized boulders deposited by the glaciers, the cold and deep glacial lakes and ancient rivers, the narrow valleys crossed by patinated iron truss bridges, the undulating farm fields and wildflower meadows, the “asunals”, the ceremonial rocks placed by the Lenape as wayfinders and to carry the prayers of successive generations — these are the same vistas and scenes that inspired an entire movement in art. The artists of our Juried Art Exhibit and Entr’Exhibits are the inheritors of the masterful Hudson River School. We are so pleased and honored to host their inspired works. Every show is a celebration of their creativity.
