This year’s theme by the Clifton Association of Artists showcases favorite things. A variety of art media such as oil, acrylic, pastels, photography, watercolor, and sculpture from amateur and professional artists are displayed. The artists are depicting a few of their favorite things like vistas of the New York skyline, cats, music whimsical rabbits and leprechauns and varied landscapes through their varied artworks. For example, the song “My Favorite Things” was composed by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The song was performed in the well-known movie version of The Sound of Music sung by Julie Andrews. There are so many “favorite things” that we can appreciate. As visitors tour the gallery for this art exhibit at the Clifton Arts Center Gallery, they can start to wonder what some of their own favorite things are to appreciate.
The Clifton Association of Artists was established in 1963 by a group of twelve Clifton artists. The mission of the Association is to promote the advancement of art and culture in Clifton by creating an environment for the expression of the visual arts. Presently, the Association has artists that are uniquely talented in their own art styles and media. Since 1964, the Clifton Association of Artists is sponsored by the City of Clifton Recreation Department.
The Arts Center is located on the grounds of the Clifton Municipal Complex, near the Well Water on Well Road. Admission fee suggestion is three dollars. For more information check the websites at: cliftonartscenter.org or cliftonnj.org. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Instagram.
