The Poetry of Art

The Edison Arts Society proudly presents our 2009-2010 Statewide Art Exhibit, entitled, “The Poetry of Art”. This exciting event takes the concept of “a picture is worth a thousand words” and transforms its boundaries. Here, both the literary and the visual contribute to a fusion of aesthetics, melding framed art with framed words. The Edison Arts Society Director of Galleries is Patricia Rubin, of PM Studios in Edison. The exhibit is curated by Mary Ann Facarro,Curator and Board Member of the Monmouth Art Museum.

“The Poetry of Art Exhibit” will be held from September 23rd, 2009, through January 22nd, 2010, at the Edison Municipal Gallery, Township of Edison Municipal Builiding,100 Municipal Boulevard, Edison, NJ 08817, and may be accessed during regular business hours.

There will be an opening reception on September 23rd, at the Edison Municipal Gallery, from 6-8:30 pm. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

The Edison Municipal Gallery is a joint venture between Edison Township and the Ten Year Old Non-Profit Edison Arts Society. This exhibit represents the fourth opening of the Gallery, with over 200+ feet of wall space, highly visible to members and guests of the community, who frequent the Municipal Building on many different levels.

The Edison Arts Society, representing six artistic disciplines–dance, literature, media/film,music, theatre, and visual arts– begins its second decade in the 2009-2010 season, and remains committed to proactively contributing to a continued cultural renaissance within our wonderfully diverse community of Edison, as well as in the larger statewide, national and international artistic mosaic.

“EAS Members, Terra Nova Collaborators, Gardeners…”

Edison Arts Society Visual Artists Members turned out in force to assist as hosts and to exhibit work.  Alan Rosenberg and Donna Muscynski served as the official photographers for the day, documenting the event.  We were so grateful to the hospitality of the homeowner / gardeners.  As always, videographer Eddie Cologna spent the day interviewing gathering footage for the Tour Presentation to be aired on ETV.

“The ART in the Gardens…”

Artwork of every discipline filled the six gardens:  paintings, live music, poetry, and performance.  The “Master Artist Impersonators” were a genuine highlight with six different college student EAS interns taking on the role of Master Artists and interacting with the visitors “in character”.
