ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Proceeds  support the NJ Highlands Coalition's mission to help preserve the  natural and cultural resources of this remarkable region of our State  that supplies clean drinking water to over 6.2 million people. 

The  artists who are inspired by the natural beauty of the Highlands region  of NJ, NY, PA & CT are advocates for protecting the Highlands  natural and cultural resources as much as we who strive for protective  policies; beauty is worth fighting for to protect. The landscapes of the  Highlands, the great biodiversity of plants and animals, the broken,  half-hidden remnants of the early industrial age that has since returned  to forest, the granite outcrops and strewn, truck-sized boulders  deposited by the glaciers, the cold and deep glacial lakes and ancient  rivers, the narrow valleys crossed by patinated iron truss bridges, the  undulating farm fields and wildflower meadows, the “asunals”, the  ceremonial rocks placed by the Lenape as wayfinders and to carry the  prayers of successive generations — these are the same vistas and scenes  that inspired an entire movement in art. The artists of our Juried Art  Show and Entr’Exhibits are the inheritors of the masterful Hudson River  School. We are so pleased and honored to host their inspired works.  Every show is a celebration of their creativity.


Organized  by curator Donna Compton, owner of Compton Gallery in Boonton, and the  staff of the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, the exhibit is juried by a  panel of prominent gallery owners and art industry professionals. The  Highlands Exhibit offers artists an opportunity to have their work  exhibited while reaching a wide audience.

  3. "Subtitle": This field is where you also type the title of your art as it will appear in the online gallery and on the wall label.
  4. "Description" This field is optional, in case you'd like to add a brief note about your image, for example, where it was taken, or a story about your experience or inspirations while photographing, or a special technique or process, etc.
  5. You will fill out this form for each individual image.  Enter up to5 images. After you do the first image, you can click to enter another (or paste the submission link into your browser again).

  7. You will receive an email confirmation to let you know how many images were received. That might take a few hours, so if your entry is close to the deadline and you haven’t heard from me, please call me.
  8. If you need to remove an image to replace it with another one, go ahead, and then let me know which one to remove (but be sure it's by the deadline)
