The Friends of the Nutley Public Library are hosting an art exhibit and wine-and-cheese reception at the Kingsland Manor on Saturday, April 29 at 5:00 to 7:00pm in celebration of the township’s first-ever Plein Air painting event held earlier in the day.  “En Plein Air’’ is a French expression for “in the open air.”  Registered artists will set up their easels to paint the Kingsland Park landscape from 8:00am to 3:00pm. Artwork from the one-day Paint Out will be displayed and available for sale during the reception.

Award-winning Plein Air artists from throughout the northeast are anticipated to speedily work their canvases for a good cause.  Visitors are welcome to come early to the park and watch the artists at work.  At the Manor reception, all will have the opportunity to view original paintings, purchase artwork, enjoy refreshments and hear live music.

Tickets to the wine-and-cheese reception are $20 per person and may be purchased at the library prior to April 29.  Tickets purchased at the door of the Manor will be $30. Monies raised will be used to support the library’s semi-annual book sales, teas, authors’ events, trips to NYC cultural events and other activities including the Summer Reading Club and other library programs.

The Friends of the Nutley Public Library support the activities and purposes of the Nutley Free Public Library in enhancing the artistic, cultural, humanitarian, intellectual and literary aspects of community life.
