NJ Highlands Coalition

 The Annual Highlands Juried Art Exhibit began in 2013 as a feature of the Highlands Festival at Waterloo. Produced and curated through 2019 by New Jersey Highlands Coalition trustee and renowned landscape photographer, Dwight Hiscano—who continues to provide guidance and support—the event continues to grow in stature, the number of submissions, and the quality of the artwork.   

The 2020 and 2021 exhibits, curated by gallerist and photographer Donna Compton, continues to support THE MISSION of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition to protect, enhance and promote the vital water and other natural & cultural resources of the New Jersey Highlands 

represents a diverse network of organizations — small and
large, local, regional, statewide and national — and individuals.

Our mission is to represent their common goal to protect, enhance and  restore the New Jersey Highlands and to preserve the quality and  quantity of drinking water both for the 850,000 people in the Highlands  as well as the more than five million people in surrounding areas who  depend on Highlands water.
