Princeton Artists Alliance

Founded in 1989, the Princeton Artists Alliance is a non-profit organization of well-established New Jersey Artists who reach out to the public through a variety of educational events. These include exhibits with wide ranging themes of international, national, and regional interest, workshops, artists’ talks, and open studios. PAA artists work with a variety of media, technique, style, and subject matter. Their individual exhibit and professional records are extensive. The Princeton Artists Alliance is committed to providing the community enriching experiences in the visual arts.

While many of the artists have had solo shows regionally, nationally, and internationally, the group as a whole has collaborated on a number of thematic exhibitions. The most recent of these is the Collaborative Artists Book, "Crossing Cultures/Une Traversee Culturelle" shown in the Current Exhibit area. Other recent exhibits are concerned with the environment: "Marsh Meditations" and "Princeton Artists Alliance and Preservation"

"Marsh Meditations" is a panoply of Marsh visions. Each artist used a medium that best expressed a personal vision of or an idea about the Marsh. Some of the artists focused their attention on elements of the landscape, while other artists used the history of the Marsh as a point of departure to create their original works. Whatever the inspiration, nature and artist have had a spirited collaboration.

For "Princeton Artists Alliance and Preservation" the artists derived their inspiration from many of the parcels of land preserved by the D&R Greenway, and their works show the relationship between land preservation and art.Given the fact of our ever-expanding urban and suburban communities, they are truly indebted to the D&R Greenway for its' ongoing work to preserve these most precious places that truly enrich our lives.
