SEPTEMBER 9 – NOVEMBER 20 – 45th ANNUAL JURIED ART SHOW, Annex Gallery
The most anticipated art show of the year welcomes a plethora of outstanding artists that will be featured at the Annex Gallery
throughout the fall. Year after year, artists who enter this show continue to demonstrate their creativity and innovation, and highlight
their best works of art. This year, we welcome everyone back into our galleries and are excited to showcase all the spectacular art.
WORKERS HOUSE GALLERY, Smithville Village

SEPTEMBER 9 – NOVEMBER 7 – MACIE ART GLASS: REFRACTION & DISPERSION
Macie Art Glass presents: The Art of Bending Light with Glass
Isaac Newton established that refraction causes white light to separate into its constituent wavelengths and defined this separation
of colors as dispersion. This created a new understanding that white light is a mixture of colored light. In art, colors and their combi-
nations are used to mimic nature and express a thought or emotion. Art glass strives to achieve the combination of science and na-
ture, perfectly blended to translate what we can envision in our minds, then replicate it for everyone to see and feel. Presenting ex-
amples of stained glass windows made in the copper foil and lead came method, along with mosaic and kiln form, this exhibit
demonstrates the fine balance of light that can be achieved in the world of glass art. Direct, indirect, refracted, and reflected, this
exhibit showcases how light is bent in spirit and is able to penetrate the soul and leave an indelible mark. For more info on Macie
Art visit Macie Art Glass
NOVEMBER 18 – JANUARY 9 – RANCOCAS NATURE EXHIBIT: PARKS ALIVE

Experience the beauty and diversity of the flora and fauna in the Burlington County Parks System. Through this exhibit, we will be
hosting a display of photographs from the Rancocas Nature Center Outdoor Photography Club that focuses on the natural elements
“alive” in our preserved open spaces. Photos of plants, animals and people will be shown blossoming and flourishing within our
parks. Complementing the photos will be natural history artifacts from the Nature Center's permanent collection. Find out all the
wonderful things the Nature Center has to offer.
WARDENS HOUSE GALLERY, High Street, Mount Holly

THROUGH SEPTEMBER 12: CAUSA SUI - THE ART OF JACQUELINE SOLIMEO
This exhibit, Causa sui (pronounced kau̯. sa ˈsʊ. i) is a Latin term relating to a philosophical hypothesis denoting that something is
self-generating or self-creating. Artist Jaquie Solimeo offers her take on abstract painting and what makes her love it so much. As
imperfect humans, she thinks that we can feel so aware of that imperfection that the process of creation and expression like art can
be tainted. When Jaquie sees art that she carefully planned, created and recreated, and toiled over, it seems ugly because what
she really sees is this all-consuming battle against imperfection. Her experience with abstract art, however, is that it's almost as if it
creates itself. There’s no plan, no expectation, no anxiety…and in the end when she looks at it, she finally sees art and beauty. She
sees nothing of herself and it’s like she had no part of it. It’s a special mental space to enter into when you can enjoy art as if you
didn’t make it. The mixed media abstract paintings in this Causa Sui collection are largely monochromatic and generally influenced
by grunge. You can expect to see translucent layers, scrapes, markings, lines, drips, and bits of mica. Rarely are brushes or tools
used during the painting process but rather air, motion, heat, and repelling mediums are used to create unique shapes and organic
motion.
SEPTEMBER 18 – NOVEMBER 14 – THE ART OF MELISSA MONTIEL

Melissa Montiel is a Philadelphia artist and gallerist working in a variety of mediums including oils, watercolor and mixed media. In
2002, Montiel studied draftsmanship at the Barnstone Studios in Coplay, PA. In 2007, she received a Certificate in Printmaking at
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and BFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She and her husband own a successful
tattoo studio and art gallery in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia. Her work is an exploration of the human condi-
tion through the use of found images. She seeks out figures in disarming and uncomfortable positions to focus on the awkwardness
and vulnerability of the individual. Melissa finds that although these expressions are unique to the stranger in the photograph, there
are basic emotions that unite all people, throughout generations.
NOVEMBER 20 – JANUARY 2 – HUGH CAMPBELL: POINT OF ORIGIN EXHIBIT

Throughout 2020 and 2021 we traveled to various locations around Burlington County and followed in the footsteps of 20 th Century
painter, Hugh Campbell. Art Smith, a local artist and instructor, gave us an in depth and unique theoretical analysis of Hugh Camp-
bell’s works at the actual point of origin. This show will highlight some of the paintings in the films as well as other locations in the
surrounding area. Those films can be found on Burlington County Parks YouTube.
Gallery hours are Thursday - Saturday, 10 AM - 4 PM and Sunday, Noon - 4 PM. Entry is free!
