The Rutherfurd Hall Foundation (RHF)
is proud to announce the upcoming “Celebrate the Arts Festival” that will take place May 12-
22. This cultural showcase will include an elegant opening night Gala
Art Show, and go on to feature performances including music, dance and
opera. The celebration will conclude with a two-day film festival
consisting of work from locally sourced filmmakers.
Famed artist and festival
supporter Peter Maier will showcase two prints of
his extraordinary artwork at the festival: Pisces and Under My Thumb. These prints and other
potential works by Maier will be available for purchase. The
festival will also display a video that exhibits Maier’s artistic and
creative process.
The festival’s art show includes
additional works by nearly 30 of our highly talented regional artists.
There will be paintings, photography, woodwork, ceramics, jewelry and
glassware on display from creators not only based in Warren and
Sussex Counties but also those from Lambertville, Frenchtown
and even the Catskills!
Art works will be available for
viewing one hour prior to each performance.
The Foundation is bringing this
cultural experience to Rutherfurd Hall to provide a space where the
public can appreciate and also engage in performance, film, and visual
media," explained Deirdre Bryant Worth of the RHF. “The
organizers of the event intend to create an environment for local
artists to gain exposure, while also bringing the community together in
a uniquely cultural way.”
Bryant Worth added, “The
Foundation strives to find innovative ways to provide financial support
for the upkeep and renovations to Rutherfurd Hall, always with an eye
to engaging the community.” and "This holistic, art-based
experience will be unique to the surrounding counties, by going beyond
the generalized concept of an art show or a film festival.”
Peter Maier is based in the
Poconos and is available to the press for interviews.
