Renowned Painter to Discuss Art at Bedminster Center

Sometimes there's just not enough days in the week, but every Wednesday we'll give you an idea of something to do to relax, spend time with family and just take some time for yourself.

Living legend New Jersey painter Mel Leipzig is visiting the Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster Thursday to discuss painting, art and the Romantic Realism exhibit, currently on display at the center.

Leipzig, according to a release from the center, was recently featured in an NJN documentary that aired across the country, and was on the cover of the November issue of “Professional Artist” magazine.

In addition, the release said, Leipzig was featured in the December/January issue of “International Artist.”

The exhibit at the center, for which Leipzig is the curator, shows off the work of painters Daniel Finaldi, Linda Pochesci and Kyle Stevenson. The exhibit is open through Feb. 16.

Registration for the talk is required, and can be done by calling the center at 908-234-2345.

The center’s gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
