Markeim Arts Center is pleased to present an exciting new exhibition! Bruce Garrity: History, 25 Years At The Markeim Arts Center. Bruce Garrity is an award-winning artist and teacher who holds a Master Of Fine Arts Painting Degree. He is also a 2022 New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellow. Garrity frequently exhibits his artwork in NJ, PA and DE.

This exhibition features a retrospective look at Garrity’s work since 1998. The show references Markeim exhibitions which featured his work as historic touchstones, beginning with “Partners in Art” a two-person show with his wife Noreen Scott Garrity. Garrity's use of bright colors and bold brushstrokes engages and captivates the viewer.

Here’s a creative twist for Mother’s Day candy!

Kids will have fun shaping clay seed pod bon bons for growing herbs. The bon-bons will be placed in mini- cupcake liners in boxes hand decorated by the young artists. The finished project looks just like a box of candy…..made with love!…. a sweet gift to celebrate Moms!

Garden bon bons dissolve into the soil as they are watered. Basil, thyme, lavender, parsley, and oregano herbs should sprout within 1-3 weeks. Hand-outs with planting and growing instructions will be provided.
