Posted
Hunterdon and Bucks ARTists (HOBART) will exhibit “Art in the Native Landscape,” at 718 County Route 519, Frenchtown, N.J., from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 17 and 18, and 24 and 25.
 
“HOBART Fall 2020” art show will feature some of the area’s leading sculptors and artists spanning the Delaware River region from New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
 
The show offers a unique opportunity to experience sculpture installations by contemporary artists in an outdoor private setting, amongst rolling hills and native landscape.
 
Both an indoor and outdoor show, guests are invited to explore the property’s several outbuildings, including a historic antique barn which will house sculpture, paintings and contemporary glass art. All artwork is for sale directly from the artists. Social distancing and masks will be required.
 
Artists included are sculptors Oki Fukunaga, Harry Gordon, Wendy Gordon, Bruce Lindsay, Debbie Reichard, Peter Rosenthal for Makers Alley, Steven Snyder and Dana Stewart; mixed media artists Aylin Green and Mayfield Williams; painters Alix Bacon, Derek Bernstein, Glenn Harren, Haley Manchon and Val Sivilli; painter and illustrator Lauren Johnson: painter and graphic designer Mike Pantuso; art glass designer Don Gonzalez; weaver Martha Gonzalez, and pencil and ink artist Cody Shale Snyder.
 
From 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, Erica Rubine, aka DJ Esoterica, radio personality at WPRB 103.3 fm, will DJ, playing selections meaningful to the HOBART artists that she has co-curated with them.
 
Paul Steinbeiser, host of the event, specializes in native landscape design and custom stonework; he will be available for consultations and discussions about embracing concepts of sustainability to create a healthy landscape environment using native plants in organic and whimsical natural designs.
 
In keeping with his love of beauty, history and sustainability, Steinbeiser is a believer in restoration and preservation of old structures, such as the reclaimed “Hannah Shaw” wagon house, circa 1830-1840, originally from Princeton, N.J., which he had relocated and restored, and will house the painting and illustration exhibit. His own home and other outbuildings are based on a 1780s Delaware Valley farmhouse in which he used reclaimed beams, flooring and other materials saved over the years.

HOBART 2020 is part of a collaborative effort by River Arts Creatives, encompassing five exhibiting partners (HOBART, FAT, Makers Alley, The Art Parlour and SFA Gallery) and is supported by a group of eight additional marketing and location partners. Find the HOBART show on Facebook.
