A group show by the “Visual Artists of Princeton Manor” will open at the Plainsboro Public Library on March 1. Scheduled to run through April 1, the exhibition will feature 26 diverse works by serious amateur artists,  all of whom are residents of the Manor, an active adult community in Kendall Park.

The artists’ group, which numbers 25, used to hold regular shows at the Manor before the pandemic, according to Co-Chair Sadi Misrahi.  During the pandemic, it held “art crawls,” during which participating artists displayed their work outside their homes. There has been no group shows outside the Manor ever, although some members have shown their work individually.  “We are very excited to be exhibiting together for the first time outside the community,” Misrahi says.

Exhibiting artists each chose two of their works for inclusion in the library show.  Their choices ran the gamut from oil painting to Chinese watercolors on rice paper. Co-chair Carol Mastroianni, the only mosaicist in the group submitted two of her pieces. About 50 percent of the exhibition is devoted to art photography, while the remainder showcases various paint media, Misrahi notes.

On Saturday, March 4, patrons will have an opportunity to “Meet the Artists” at a special library event.

The library is located at 9 Van Doren St., Plainsboro.  Phone: 609-275-2897.
