Watercolorists Unlimited will host its annual Fall Art Show and Sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, at the historic Parsonage Barn on Cranbury Neck Road, one block away from Main Street in Cranbury.
Work from 13 local watercolor artists will be available for purchase. Framed and unframed art will be on view, selling at all price points from $35 to $500, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Parsonage Barn.
The Parsonage Barn, c. 1741 was moved to its current location and restored in 2010. It features original timbers and many historic farm tools. The barn is located on a barn park, including two other historic barns.
Watercolorists Unlimited, a group of 13 artists from Central New Jersey, have been painting and meeting for critique for more than 25 years. The artists paint a different assignment each month and meet monthly to critique the work. For this Fall Show and Sale, many of the artists have painted the Parsonage Barn as well as other Cranbury scenes. There will be more than 75 paintings for sale. Many of the artists will be on hand to answer questions.
In past years, the event has attracted crowds of buyers as well as people hoping to get a look at the inside of the barn. It’s one of Cranbury’s most scenic spots and a great place to spend a fall day.
Cash and checks are acceptable, but no credit cards, please. The event will be held rain or shine. No parking is available on site, but visitors may park on Main Street and nearby at Heritage Park on South Main Street.
