Hunterdon Art Museum Provides Venue For Exhibition & Sale Of Local Craft Art

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 21, 2012 - The Hunterdon Art Museum, the region’s premier venue for the contemporary art, craft and design, is pleased to provide a venue for local crafts people to exhibit and sell their work. In conjunction with the Town of Clinton’s summer music program, the Museum will remain open to visitors until 9pm on Friday. Objects will remain on display for sale in the lobby through Sunday of the same weekend. The weekend starting June 29 will feature the art glass of Karen and Geoff Caldwell.

The Caldwells have been working with glass for the past 34 years. They are traditional stained glass artists specializing in botanical landscapes, hand beveled glass and arts & craft inspired work. In recent years they have both specialized in different areas of glass and started combining them into new works of art.

Soon after Karen started studying fused glass, Geoff started studying the ancient art of medieval glass painting. Their new series combines the traditional glass painting art and very modern techniques of fused glass.

Additional artisans will be announced in the coming weeks.
