Participating artists include: Emily Ward Bivens, Matt Burton, Doug Casebeer, Ray Chen, Rick Crowley, David East, Rain Harris, Katherine Johnson, Jerry Kaba, Leigh Taylor Mickelson, Peter Morgan, Jill Oberman, Helen Otterson, Rick Parsons, Kelly & Kyle Phelps, Amy Santoferraro, Todd Shanafelt, Keith Smith, Fred Spaulding and Skeff Thomas.

A Vital Component in Economic Development Arts and culture are important forces behind some of the most successful cities, towns and rural areas across the state and the nation. In New Jersey, arts organizations supported by the NJ State Council on the Arts return $3 in State tax revenue for every $1 invested. Funding for grants awarded by the Arts Council comes from a dedicated revenue source – the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Fee. Bolstered tourism, thriving businesses, job opportunities and increased overall quality of life are among the other returns from strategic investment in the arts.

Finaldi will give a talk based on his own experiences coming into representational painting in a post-modern age.

Noyes presents mystical mixed-media exhibit by 2 artists
A mystical installation of sculptures, large-scale drawings, paintings, and works on glass will go on exhibit Jan. 21 until May 23 at the Noyes Museum of Art. In this exhibition, Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Robert Roesch present an imaginative collaboration titled “Transduction: Myths of the Sea and the Solar Boat.” The pair’s projects and themes have traveled the world and can be seen in museum collections both nationally and internationally.

Horvitz (www.suzannehorvitz.com) will display poetic mixed-media works, glass panels and myth-like paintings, some of which include gold and silver leaf on aluminum. Her artwork often offers a mythical narrative and is done by reverse painting, screening, sand blasting and gilding on glass, aluminum or canvas. Her newest work explores mirror images and twins with translucent figures merging with text and landscape to create surrealistic and mystical effects on gilded metallic, representing dreams and the world on the wrong side of the looking glass.

Roesch (www.robertroesch.com), head of the sculpture department at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, contributes several large-scale metal sculptures and wall works to the exhibit. His sculptures, mixed media pieces and drawings explore and define the moment between shifting realities, “the place in-between.” Roesch is intrigued by contrasting planes at their moment of intersection and the transference of energy between the two forces. The Noyes Museum is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. It is 1 1/2 miles south of Historic Smithville Village, off Route 9, on Lily Lake Road in Galloway Township. Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.

HERBERT PULLINGER’S LOST ARTWORK VISITS ARTPORT
The Philadelphia Artist Reveals a View of Cape May at the Atlantic City Airport

OCEANVILLE, N.J. – Philadelphia artist Herbert Pullinger (1878-1961) will be featured in a new exhibit opening on January 15 at the Atlantic City Airport’s ArtPort. The exhibit, titled Herbert Pullinger: A Cape May Historical Journey, offers a pictorial account of Cape May’s natural and man-made environment during the mid-20th century. The exhibition, which continues to March 23, includes 15 watercolor (from a larger collection) paintings of Cape May’s fishing and lodging industries, churches, neighborhoods and landscapes. The collection represents a 2006 gift to the Museum by the Cape May County Art League of Cape May, N.J.
Pullinger spent much of his time during the 1940’s and 1950’s painting the sites and landscapes in Cape May, N.J. Many of the artists images have not changed since he set up his easel over 50 years ago. Familiar scenes such as Congress Hall, the Chalfonte Hotel and the Franklin Street Methodist Church are included in the exhibit. The exhibition also includes images that have vanished from the Cape May landscape giving the viewer an historical overview of this famous seaside town. Lost for over 40 years, these watercolors and drawing were found by Cape May County Art League President Stan Sperlak during a recent move of the Leagues’ archives. This is the second showing of these paintings at the Noyes Museum and only the third time that they have ever been shown publicly.

On December 26th, the parents, students and staff of Port Norris Middle School visited the wondweful, Noyes Museum, of Oceanville,NJ. There, they proudly viewed the splendid acrylic paintings of the Middle School students and the Museum Galleries. Art Teacher, Mr. Frank D'Autrechy, of the 21st Century Art Enrichment Program, guided the 6th-7th and 8th graders through a 2 class painting lesson to produce the Winter Themed art works. The trip was arranged by Ms LeRay Smith of the after school clubs program and greatly enjoyed by the adults and students. The esteem of all was greatly enriched.

A sad consequence of our budget crisis" is a callous and ill-considered opinion piece that shamelessly panders to an angry public faced with an economic debacle that was decades in the making. Most notably, The Ledger fails to recognize that state funding for the arts comes not from income, sales or property taxes, but from a dedicated revenue source - a legislatively mandated hotel/motel occupancy fee, derived from taxes generated largely from out-of-state visitors, and which provides $80 million in revenue to the Treasury.

For fifteen years the nonprofit arts industry has been educating our whole State to understand that the arts are not about rich people attending the opera or self absorbed artists feeling entitled. They are about good schools and rescuing children from gangs and drugs. They are about treating our parents and grandparents with the dignity and joy they deserve. They are about rebuilding our cities and towns, improving the business community, and supporting property values. They are about helping people heal including patients in the recovery room and those who suffer multiple sclerosis, autism, mental illness and disabilities of all sorts. They are about retaining jobs, sustaining tourism, giving our residents pride and instilling a unique and attractive character to a state that is over 300 years old and needs now more than ever to secure its future.

New Jersey's non-profit arts community has suffered from the repeated loss of State funds over the past several years-funds that were dedicated from a specific revenue source. This State funding represents about 8% of any arts group's budget, but allows programs to be accessible to our most vulnerable residents-senior citizens, those with reduced income, and students in our most disadvantaged areas.

Arts groups were awarded these funds in July of 2009. Nonprofit arts organizations throughout the state have presented and produced programs for more than four months in reliance upon receiving these grants.

If ever there was a group that knows "creative ways to survive" as suggested in your editorial, it is New Jersey's arts community. They have reduced programming, laid off already lean staffs, reduced their hours and ticket prices, and collaborated effectively with other sectors. Doing more with less is the trademark of an earnest, hardworking and dedicated non-profit arts sector. We have been creative for a long time, but these cuts will kill arts groups all over New Jersey.

The really sad consequences will be the loss of institutions that make us proud and the consequent loss of jobs, income, and economic stimulus that the arts bring to our towns and our State. This funding is a miniscule price to pay for sustaining every important aspect of our civic agenda.
