Among the featured artists are: Joan Miró, Jean Arp, Paul Cadmus, Edgar Degas, Dame Laura Knight, Jose Camacho, Francisco Mora, Alison Weld, and many, many more. Admission is $45.00 and is tax-deductible to the maximum extent allowed by law. Proceeds will benefit two of New Jersey's most outstanding non-profit organizations—Aljira and Garden State Equality.
