In March 1998 we opened our first art exhibit with large scale color photographs by notable New Jersey photographer, Nancy Ori. That year we ran five more exhibits which showcased fewer than twenty artists. During the 08/09 session of eight art exhibits we are showing recent work by over seventy artists. It has been our self-imposed priority to showcase the works of many of the wonderfully talented emerging artists of New Jersey. We do not consider these artists as “local” artists in the diminutive sense that they are too often described in newspaper reviews. The artists we choose for exhibitions here are professional in attitude, concept and execution of their work. Many exhibit in other states or other countries. They are in our estimation, the equal of artists in any other state and we take pride in being champions for the cause of bringing their fine work to the public.
In EVOLUTION: 20 @ 10, twenty artists from our first ten years of exhibits return to show their work. The exhibit is indicative of the many mediums, styles and genres we have presented and in particular the overall very high quality of the work we include in these well-crafted exhibits at The Arts Guild of Rahway. For any non-profit space to survive for ten years is an accomplishment in itself but to do so with style in a consistent, thoughtful, educational and entertaining manner and to develop into what many of gallery goers and artists visitors consider to be a successful art center is worth celebration.

So—Come and join us for this 10th Anniversary Celebration!
