Events

Twenty-six artists from Israel will be coming to Temple Beth El of Somerset to showcase and sell their work. These artists will be in only two places in the United States: the Chicago area and Somerset, New Jersey. They will be bringing a variety of pieces, from large wall paintings to delicate pieces of jewelry, including home decor, wood, glass and fabric art. Each artist has donated one item valued at between $100 and $250 for a tricky tray, and the entrance fee of $10 per person includes five tricky tray tickets. The event will take place Saturday, March 1, from 7:45 to 10 PM, and Sunday, March 2, from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

Reception: Sat., Jan. 25th, 1-3 PM Theme: The theme for this year's show is "PAS DE THÈME," which means there's no specific theme to follow. The exhibition aims to celebrate our member artists' avant-garde and rebellious spirit, allowing for a diverse showcase of innovative and boundary-pushing artwork. Join us for the festive opening and spread the word to art aficionados! Dates: The exhibition will be on view through March 8th. Juror: This year Frontline Arts member Dave DiMarchi will be our Annual Members' Show juror. Dave is a multi-disciplinary artist specializing in printmaking, papermaking, and sculptural book forms. He has exhibited his work in the US and internationally and teaches in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Juror, Erin Woodbrey, selected the work of twenty-eight artists, showcasing works of art across many mediums for the 2025 International Juried Exhibition. "The selected works reflect a desire to imagine our relationships to the spaces we inhabit anew—to create and embody new possibilities. In the work, I see a shared impulse to reimagine our material lives and explore new models for caregiving, resilience, and celebration. The artworks seem to ask how we might reshape our environments—not just physically but also socially and emotionally." -- Erin Woodbrey
