About the Exhibit
Once a year, we pull out all the stops for our WAE Studio Artists by dedicating the entire Heidi Gallery to the extraordinary range of work created across all three art studios.
Featured Artwork
The gallery will be packed with paintings, collages, digital art, photography, and mixed media creations! Vibrant colors, rich textures, bold creative expression… dive headfirst into the world of WAE creativity.
Sales and Support
All artwork will be available for purchase, with every sale benefiting both the individual artists and WAE Center programs. This year, all pieces will be priced under $300, with many unframed and unstretched works offered at especially accessible prices.

Workshop
Beyond the Paper: Building Dynamic mixed Media Collages
Sunday, September 27, 2026 from 11am – 1pm
Led by Claude Larson
In this 2-hour workshop, you will learn the basics of color theory, proper collage techniques, and how to make a composition that has visual interest and cohesion. Using simple steps, this practice has unlimited possibilities that will reflect your unique perspective. Everything you need to make your mixed media collage will be available at the workshop. However, if you have some papers or bits of fabric that you want to incorporate, please feel free to bring them with you.
Made possible by funds from the Essex County Department of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
