BARNS AND BEYOND: This painting by Lisa Walsh titled “Red Barn, Winter,” is representative of the artworks that will be on sale at the Annual Art Show and Sale at the historic Parsonage Barn in Cranbury. The exhibit features many paintings of the barns located on the site where the show will take place, as well as other Cranbury scenes.

Watercolorists Unlimited will host their annual Fall Art Show and Sale at the historic Parsonage Barn on Cranbury Neck Road, one block away from Main Street in Cranbury, on Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Work from 13 local watercolor artists will be available for purchase. Framed and unframed art will be on view, selling at prices from $35 to $500, with a portion of the proceeds going to support the Parsonage Barn.

The Parsonage Barn, circa 1741 was moved to its current location and restored in 2010. It features original timbers and many historic farm tools. The barn is located on a barn park, including two other historic barns.

Watercolorists Unlimited, a group of 13 artists from Central New Jersey, have been painting and meeting for more than 25 years. The artists paint a different assignment each month and meet to critique the work. For this Fall Show and Sale, many of the artists have painted the Parsonage Barn as well as other Cranbury scenes. There will be more than 75 paintings for sale. Many of the artists will be on hand to answer questions and refreshments will be served.

In past years, the event has attracted crowds of buyers as well as people hoping to get a look at the inside of the barn. It’s one of Cranbury’s most scenic spots and a great place to spend a fall day. Cash and checks are acceptable, but no credit cards, please. The event will be held rain or shine. No parking is available on site, but visitors may park on Main Street and nearby Heritage Park on South Main Street. For more information visit, cranbury.org or cranburyartscouncil.org.
