Anne Percoco: Heap II Workshop! Sunday, 7/23/23, 3-5p  
Join "NJ & Me" artist Anne Percoco at Drawing Rooms for a free one-time workshop to expand her sculpture, "Heap II."  Sign-up Here
Participants will explore the intersection of art and sustainability while engaging in a community cleanup of a small stretch of Newark Ave.
During this interactive experience, we'll step outside to collect trash together and then return to the gallery to transform it into something unexpected and beautiful, using templates provided by the artist. "Heap" offers a unique opportunity to engage in stimulating discussions, hands-on creativity, and a shared exploration of the untapped potential within discarded materials.
Participants should bring a pair of scissors and, if desired, a pair of rubber or plastic gloves.

Lauren H. Adams
Drawing Rooms’ presents NJ & Me: Imperfect Together, 05/25/23 - 07/29/23, an exhibition about the Garden State including the nature, diners, suburbia, beach and other stereotypes and high points we love by 16 artists.

Artists include: Alan Ostroski, Anne Percoco, Anne Trauben, Christopher Z, Dorie Dahlberg, Doug Madill, Eileen Ferara, Edward Fausty, James Pustorino, Jean-Paul Picard, Jessica Rohrer, John T. Meehan III, Kevin McCaffrey, Lauren H. Adams, Sue Ellen Leys, Tim Daly and Tim Heins.

The title of the show, NJ & Me: Imperfect Together, is a play on the 1980’s tourism ad, NJ & You: Perfect Together. Hitting some of both the high points and stereotypes of our fair state, the exhibition tries its best to represent. Featuring Jessica Rohrer’s meticulous paintings of her Essex County suburban neighborhood and Lauren H. Adams’ vivid and moody photographs of South Jersey couches put out-on-the-curb; plein-air paintings of Jersey City street scenes by Doug Madill and hyper-realist to elemental and abstracted painting, drawing and three-dimensional photography of Hudson County towns: Hoboken, Secaucus, Jersey City and Weehawken by Tim Daly, Tim Heins, Kevin McCaffrey and Jean-Paul Picard; motion-blur photographs of Wildwood roller coaster rides seen as the architectural feats that they are by James Pustorino; playful drawings by Rainbow Thursday Artist Alan Ostrowski done while the Bayonne Bridge he loves so much was under reconstruction; night-time exterior photographs of the remaining Hudson County diners, including the historic White Mana and Miss America, by Anne Trauben; colorful realistic and somewhat impressionistic oil paintings of families at the shore on Long Beach Island by John T. Meehan III, vibrant encaustic party scenes at Asbury Park by Sue Ellen Leys and Dorie Dahlberg’s gritty black and white photographs at Pier Village in Long Branch; and, last but not least, nature fisheye photography by Edward Fausty taken in his nearby Morris County, abstracted mixed-media painting and sculpture by Eileen Ferara inspired by waterfront walks to the Hudson River Estuary, and a paper leaf installation by Anne Percoco made of trash she collected in her Jersey City neighborhood.
