The Middletown Arts Center is currently hosting the Garden State Watercolor Society’s 56th Annual Open Juried Exhibition alongside the 8th Annual Art Installation Exhibition. Juried by Joseph Gyurcsak, the main showcase features 64 selected watercolor paintings, while a special installation titled "Revolution as Reinvention" presents 55 miniature works exploring the history of artistic rebellion. The exhibition is open to the public through May 30, 2026, with a digital version available online.
This event highlights the enduring regional influence of the Garden State Watercolor Society, a non-profit dedicated to fostering watermedia talent across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. By partnering with the Middletown Arts Center, the society provides a high-profile platform for local artists to reach new audiences and reinforces the role of community-based art centers in maintaining accessible cultural programming outside of major metropolitan hubs.
