“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then Bayonne has a great story to tell through the arts,” Peveler says.

Artists can submit works of oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, sculpture, mixed media, photography, glasswork, quilts, etc., but each exhibit must include at least one piece of the bodies of water that comprise Bayonneâ€s coastline.

“Bayonne is a peninsula city at the southern end of the Gold Coast,” Mayor Jimmy Davis says.  “Our communityâ€s location and natural surroundings provide great inspiration for artistic expression. I look forward to enjoying the great works of art that will feature Newark Bay, New York Harbor, and the Kill Van Kull.”

Artists who are interested in exhibiting their work should contact Peveler and Segura at allfitstudios@gmail.com. All works will be exhibited on the Beautify Bayonne Facebook page.
