The Mr. Local History Project has launched a new program to honor artists that celebrate our local history with art. We’re also looking for groups or art clubs interested in interpreting history with art. See the story at the end of this beautiful art show by some of the area’s local artists.
NOTE: On your phone just swipe right or left. On desktop, put mouse on image to stop. There are arrows in mid-section of art on edges to go backwards or forwards. Mouse off should move art automatically.
Documenting history sometimes comes in unique ways. As we’ve been studying history in the Somerset Hills, you often visit the sites and come across an artist who’s capturing the venue on canvas. This piece honors those who capture our local history with art. The project will be ongoing, and we invite the public to share an image of artwork from the area that showcases our local history. You never know, there might be an art show in the future.
Simply send us a note with a jpeg image indicating your name and the artist’s name and attaching a photo of the artwork. It should be from a Somerset Hills landmark scene, property, or event.
Send to info@mrlocalhistory.org2 (remove the #2- this prevents SPAM).
