SMALL WORKS ART SHOW: Artist Paul Hoffman, a native of Hunterdon County, will be painting at the Small Works Art Show at 123 Main Street in Flemington on May 19 and 20. The art show will benefit Friends of Historic Flemington, which is working to preserve historic buildings in the town.

“Interested in original art by area artists? Come to the Small Works Art Show, and support local history at the same time,” says Catherine Langley, co-chair of the event, which will benefit Friends of Historic Flemington.

The show and sale will be Saturday, May 19 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, May 20 from noon to 6 p.m., at 123 Main Street, Flemington. An artists’ reception is planned for Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m., with live music and refreshments. The public is welcome.

“Artwork will sell for no more than $200, with 40 percent going to Friends of Historic Flemington. We expect more than 100 paintings and mixed media items,” says Langley.

“Most of the pieces will be no larger than 11×14 inches, no smaller than 8×10, but we will have some surprises too.” Artists use various media — from paint, pencil, and pastel to photography, fabric, and collage. Purchased artwork may be taken home immediately.
