Art For the Ages
German painter, Gerhard Richter has coined the phrase "Art is the highest form of hope." We agree with that inspirational sentiment. The beauty of art is that it is truly subjective and extremely diverse in style so that anyone can understand and enjoy it. Not only is New Jersey home to many fine art galleries, but it is also home to many aspiring artists and painters. We are also home to the first American sculpturist, Patience Lovell Wright of Bordentown who began wax sculpting as a child. Classes can be taken as a hobby or NJ residents can go to school full time. Lucky for us natives, New Jersey is home to very cute affordable intimate classroom environments as well as bigger venues. For some real fun while learning how to paint (as well as having a night out on the town!), visit one of New Jersey's 29 exclusive BYOB art studios.
