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.

Our mission is to protect, enhance and promote the vital water and other natural & cultural resources of the New Jersey Highlands. The Coalition represents a diverse network of organizations — small and large, local, regional, statewide and national — and individuals.
We 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.
The firehouse is restored by the Boonton Preservation Project. It was constructed in 1893 and occupies a prominent location in the center of Boonton, NJ’s Main Street Historic District and has served a variety of functions since the town’s fire engines became too large to use it.
