“Pahaquarry Paint Out” Artists on Exhibit in Romano Gallery

The public is cordially invited to view “The Sixth Annual Pahaquarry Paint Out,” sponsored by the Pahaquarry Foundation, in the Romano Gallery in the Armstrong-Hipkins Center for the Arts at Blair Academy. The exhibit runs now through August 29.

The art work in this exhibition is for sale. The proceeds help fund the creation of a regional artists’ refuge and study center, as well as the foundation’s art programs.

The “Pahaquarry Paint Out” began in 1997 as a way of publicizing the natural beauty of the former Pahaquarry Township (Warren County, N.J.), which was absorbed into Hardwick Township that year. For the visual artist, the Pahaquarry area is especially rich in the variety of subjects it offers, ranging from still life opportunities to farm scenes and riverscapes.

For the past five years, artists from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania have participated in the program. Members of the New Jersey Water Color Society, Inc., and the New Jersey Society of En Plein artists are "regulars" at this annual event, held the first Wednesday in October.

A curator will be available at the Romano Gallery on Sundays from 2:00-4:00 p.m.; weekday hours are by appointment. Admission is free of charge. Please call (908) 841-9530 for further information.
