Art and History – Looking for Artists To Interpret History to Celebrate NJ250

Joining the America 250 movement – Artists and New Jersey 250!

UPDATE: We are looking for art programs, non-profits, and elder program coordinators to consider programs where an entire art class works to create their own collection with ties to our collective local history.

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.


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