Meet the Artists!  Sunday, September 10th | 11:00am - 1:00pm

You're invited! Join us for a special event - Sunday Brunch and the Opening Reception for our new exhibition: The Art of Joey Rihl & Jay Miller. This is a stunning, bold show sure to leave an impression.

Joey Rihl grew up in Haddonfield and volunteered at the Markeim in his youth. He has trained in classical realism for years, and has studied at Studio Incamminati, Philadelphia. He finds the inspiration for his works in history, literature, theatre, and classic film. Joey creates his art using oil paints and graphite/ink on paper. He lives in Merchantville, New Jersey.

Jay Miller's background includes studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, practicing as a full-time painter, and working in the graphic arts industry. Using acrylics and mixed media, much of Jay's work expresses the dynamic tension that exists between the order and chaos that shapes our mutual reality. Recently, Jay has turned his attention to creating semi-abstract representations of people in public life who have meant much to him.

A delicious brunch will be served courtesy of our Board Member, Rosie Hymerling. Please register your attendance for the Opening Reception so we can plan accordingly for serving refreshments. The Exhibition will be on view until November 17th.
