About the Dress

[admin]

While walking on main Street, visitors have been able to catch a glimpse of a strange sight, a dress.




It turns out, this is part of an art exhibit from Rader Rivera Fine Art Studio. AS another fine example of the growth of music and arts in Freehold Borough, the dress plays its part in enticing curious visitors into the studio.


A perusal of the Rivera-Rader web site provides the following information:

August 14th - September 12th

Opening reception Friday, Aug. 14th 6-10pm

"About the Dress" - An exhibition of paintings, sculpture and mixed media featuring the work of Mark Kolessar, John Mathias, Suzanne Rader, Julia Rivera, Jill Ricci and Jennifer Watson.

I heard a nasty little rumor that Rader Rivera closed their shop here in Freehold. Upon looking at their site and noticing no mention of their Freehold shop, it appears to be true.

It is certainly a shame, it was nice to have them here in the borough and I had hoped that we would see more artists moving in. I am a very firm believer that arts and music are a natural fit for our down town.

I can only surmise that they may not have advertised/publicized/marketed their gallery appropriately or strategically.
