In the most recent years, many can attest to hardships that have occurred in the world, that have had an effect in their lives. From the pandemic, to the reliance on social media for relevance, to a rise in mental health struggles, unemployment, and an eye on racism, the world has gone through many facets of trauma that have been triggering to society in so many ways. With all the chaos occurring, many are seeking refuge from the turn our world has taken. Despite the numerous resources and opportunities that we may have to center ourselves and find the calm in the storm, many seem to find connection and comfort in the most basic and fundamental resources of all…nature. In this year’s exhibit, we’ve asked our local artists to express how, when, and where nature has given them peace and solace in the somewhat chaotic world. Please join us for our Plainsboro Art Group Exhibit which includes works in oil, mixed media, clay sculptures, collage, print, eco-prints, pencil and gold foil, miniature, and found and reclaimed objects.

 

Exhibiting Artists: Leena Shekhar Thakar-Bagawde, Ileana Balcu, Seema Bhattacharjee, Ariel Bruner, Terrance Cummings, Mrunmayi Deshpande, Susan Freeman, Rupali Ghogre, Patrick D. Goldsmith, Art Lee, Sandhya Modi, Annette Newmark, Anandi Ramanathan, Paula Cristina Ridley, Elaine Rosenberg, Ellen Rothouse, Hiran Sarkar, Shweta Singh, Evie Sutkowski, The-O, Preeti Vernekar, and Suellen Wexler.

 

The Plainsboro Public Library is the host of the Plainsboro Art Group made up of artists who meet on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM, at the Plainsboro Library, to connect and share their work, ideas, share resources, and seek advice from each other. The group has remained an active and important part of Plainsboro and surrounding communities with exhibitions and events that unite the community. The group welcomes all artists of varying levels and mediums to our meetings and events to foster a safe space for learning and sharing.
