Art and History – Looking for Artists To Interpret History with Art

The Mr. Local History Project is looking for any artists to interpret our local history boards to create memorable images of local history for the Somerset Hills communities of Bernardsville, Bernards Township, Bedminster, Peapack and Gladstone.

We are also looking for art teachers to consider programs where an entire art class works to create their own collection with ties to our collective local history.


If you’re interested in volunteering, drop us a note and we can connect to discuss.

Open to anyone who wants to help us preserve and promote local history.
