The Freehold Art Society announced today that over 25 local artists are scheduled to participate in Freehold’s Art Expo, to be held in conjunction with Olde Freehold Day, August 17, at Lake Topanemus, 251 Pond Road, Freehold.

The Art Expo will showcase dozens of pieces of art created for the event depicting Lake Topanemus Park by professional and emerging New Jersey artists. Entries will be judged by award winning artist Vicky Culver. Other Freehold themed artwork, prints and note cards will also be available. The Expo is also serving as an artist meet-up as well as making local art and artists more visible to the community at large.  

The Freehold Art Society was established in 1960 and offers free art workshops and demos to the public (adults). The Art Society’s art show at Freehold Boro’s Carnegie Library has run for over two decades with each piece shown only once.  

Olde Freehold Day festivities this year celebrate Freehold Boro’s Centennial. In addition to live music, vendors, food trucks and other attractions, this year’s Kidz Zone is free. Shuttle buses run the few short blocks from Monmouth County Courthouse’s parking lot to Lake Topanemus, and hay rides are available from the parking lot on Robertsville Road. Festivities run from 12-5.

Its always a treat to visit Freehold Boro Library. The beautiful Carnegie building, dating back to 1903, is set back from the sidewalk at 28 1/2 East Main Street. Its inviting entrance hints at the interior’s original architectural features and welcoming ambiance. The Freehold Art Society appreciates having such an elegant setting for our rotating art show. Each show displays about 30 pieces of original artwork including sculptures, and each work is shown only once.

The Freehold Art Society is pleased to be welcoming Artist Karen Fillus of Spirit Designs by Karen as the next in our “Try a New Medium” series. Karen will demo several techniques used in the process of creating alcohol ink artwork. Join us at our next general meeting May 22, 6:30-8:00 pm at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters on 125 Symmes Road in Manalapan.* Please park in rear. Note this is a demo not a workshop.
