2025 International Juried Exhibition

The Center for Contemporary Art 2020 Burnt Mills Road, Bedminster, NJ, United States

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

Event Series Nature Days Enrichment Programs

Nature Days Enrichment Programs

Nature Days Enrichment Programs At Nature Days, we let kids be kids as they explore, create, and discover! Our educators guide children through structured and unstructured learning and play time outdoors, helping children develop the creativity and critical thinking needed to build long-lasting connections with nature. Age appropriate activities let children develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills, encourage cooperative play, practice positive social behavior and communication skills. Our programs are made up of small groups of children with a low student to teacher ratio, allowing each child to get the attention they need. Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve has plenty of space to explore with quiet forests, trickling streams, colorful meadows, big skies, fresh air, and even some magical places where fairies are thought to live! Ages 3-5 Adult Participation Optional
