In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the Lambertville Autumn House Tour, 26 artists from New Jersey and Pennsylvania painted the town en plein air during the house tour held in October 2013.
More than 35 works of art produced that day will be featured during “Lambertville En Plein Air,” a silent auction to benefit the Lambertville Historical Society.
The event will take place on Feb. 1 from 6-9 p.m. at Rago Arts & Auction Center, 333 N. Main St., Lambertville.
Lambertville En Plein Air will offer a rich and varied collection of oils, acrylics and watercolors capturing street scenes, vistas and architecture throughout the city.
”We have more than two dozen incredibly talented and generous artists who are providing a magnificent and diverse collection of paintings, all representative of Lambertville. Those who bid successfully on a piece of artwork will be very, very pleased,” said Suzanne Gitomer, president of the Lambertville Historic Society and chairwoman of the Autumn House Tour.
All works will be on display and minimum bids will be set. Bidding will close at 8 p.m., with winners announced at 8:30 p.m.
