As part of the Garden State Art Weekend's second annual state-wide celebration of New Jersey's diverse and vibrant arts scene, Bridgewater Commons will host the work of 21 artists from the South Asian Artists Association of America (S4A). 'Vasant' means springtime in Sanskrit (the ancient classical language of India) and symbolizes happiness, new beginnings, hope, and prosperity. Come celebrate the arrival of the season through a mosaic of authentic and inspiring art at the Community Hub. The space will be transformed into a lively, vibrant, open, and elegant gallery and cultural venue for three days. S4A is a collective of artists with roots in South Asia now living in the U.S., who work in a wide variety of media including photography, painting, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and more. They draw inspiration from their South Asian heritage and modern cross-cultural life experiences, exhibiting together to promote and share their work with the public at large. Free and open to all, guests will meet the artists and learn about their approaches, experiences, and inspirations. Families can also partake in art activities and workshops. Check back here for a schedule of activities. Artwork by the artists will also be for sale. Friday, April 25
