We are fortunate to have du Cret School of Visual arts agree to exhibit in the upper gallery at the Watchung Arts Center!  "The Pageant of Life," artwork of landscapes and figures, will be offered in a variety of media and styles, and we can look forward to everything from realism to abstract.  This show,
curated by Danielle Kondracki, was initiated by the Board Members of the Watchung Arts Center, who felt that the up and coming artists needed our support.  There are many accomplished and talented students within duCret, as well as professional artists.   Among those showing will be Carl Rizzo.  Rizzo's figure paintings will dazzle the viewer's eye with his brave compositions and poetic use of color.  Danielle Kondracki's figure paintings range from abstract to surrealistic.  Her painting "figure one" the first of a series of works, explores color, shape, and space.  Ann Marie DeSantis' landscape painting "Serenity" is best described by the title.  The mountainess tranquility is intensified by her loose brushwork and watercolor media.  This exhibit may be your chance to discover and recognize future fame and will prove to be a diverse and interesting show.

Join us on Sunday, January 10, 1999 for the opening reception from 1-4 PM. This is a great time to come and meet the artists to discuss their techniques and careers.  There is no admission charge for the reception or exhibit.  The displayed pieces are available for purchase, unless otherwise indicated by the artists.  Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to purchase some of the finest works while supporting our local artists.
