RAHWAY, N.J. – Arts Guild New Jersey is holding its Open House, 1670 Irving St., Rahway, on Sunday, May 15, 2016 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served.
Arts Guild New Jersey, which opened to the public in January 1999, is a non-profit Center for the Arts in the Downtown Rahway Arts District. If you haven’t yet made a visit to the Arts Guild, this fun, family-oriented day is a great opportunity to view the latest Art Exhibit, learn about art classes and meet some of the people who have provided quality arts events to the north and central Jersey region residents for seventeen years.
Events scheduled for the open house include a free sculpture project that children can take part in with Arts Guild instructor Sam Vega. Children will complete an original sculpture during the one hour session. For teens and adults, there’s a printmaking project. For $10, visitors will work with master printmaker Eileen Foti to ink a linoleum block prepared by South Plainfield artist Leonard Merlo. After inking the plate, participants will run it through the printing press to create and keep an original print. Arts Instructor Nick Mockovia will do a free demonstration of cartooning open to kids and teens.
There’s a 50-50 raffle, and a silent auction to bid on a professionally photographed family portrait session donated to the Guild by Cranford photographer Joel Simpson, valued at $475.
