The West Orange Arts Council (WOAC) presents an eclectic art viewing experience for artists and art lovers and a range of media with a 

Pop-up Art Gallery Show 

WHEN: May 7-21, 2022, Saturdays (May 7, 14, 21) from 11am-4pm.
WHERE: West Orange Arts Center on 551 Valley Road, West Orange

This Pop-Up Exhibit or temporary art event with a much shorter run than a traditional exhibit, features West Orange Arts Council members Leslie Jacobsen, Carol T. Jenkins, Monica Sztybel, and Rachel Pruzan. 

A “Meet the Artist” reception will take place on Saturday, May 7, from 1-4pm, with an afternoon of “Music for Mom” featuring jazz and classical flute and keyboard music by Liana and Prin. The WOAC Gift Shoppe will be open for last minute one-of-a-kind gifts for moms, grandmoms, sisters, or yourself.
