The Artyard opening was a success! It was a magical night, not to be missed. But if you did miss it, you still have a chance to see The Past is Prologue at the ArtYard center in Frenchtown, NJ. On view April 27th-July 28th 2019.
After months of collaboration, we did it!!!
These lovely advertising girls we’re so fabulous! They made those costumes the night before…
So many friends made the trip down for the opening, it was such a joy!
‘Steep yourself in a bowl of summer,’ and a series of Sunday afternoon studio salons aimed at activating your senses and filling your hopper with artful insights about how to grow your work and become a richer artist of your own life. Summer is the time to shed some outer layers, develop an inwardness, and tap back into your center, that place from whence your work springs.
‘Improbable marvels appear with the same regularity as your immersion in the richness of life.’ So let’s dig, and immerse ourselves in a bowl of creative exercises and meaningful dialogue to enrich your daily lives and your creative practice in small but powerful ways that will let you return to what is authentic and yours.
There will be three salons this summer. Take one, take all three!

Directed and produced by Elsa Mora. This video is part of Marcia Lippman's work for The Past is Prologue, an exhibition about photography at ArtYard. www.artyard.org
ArtYard is pleased to present The Past Is Prologue: Vernacular Photography, Pop Photographica, and the Road to Selfie Culture, an exhibition featuring vernacular photography from the collections of Daile Kaplan, W.M. Hunt, Nigel Poor, Pete Brook, and Cynthia Elyce Rubin, with original works by Marcia Lippman and Cassandra Zampini. This exhibition offers an experiential guide to the evolution of everyday photography from the late nineteenth century to Instagram, and charts a terrain comprised of unauthored and found photographs as well as commercial objects and images divorced from their original contexts. Works of vernacular photography encompass photo booth portraiture, family albums and snapshots, press prints from newspaper archives, and industrial catalogues.
Opening reception: Saturday, April 27, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
