"Black River, New Jersey Highlands"
by Dwight Hiscano
As we continue to watch the progress of the Green Building Project, we are pleased to see many other green projects popping up all over Morristown. We urge you to go to the Morris Museum's exhibit, "The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Design and Architecture," which ends May 4, 2008.
This highly interactive exhibit, created by the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C, introduces visitors to the concept of “green” or sustainable architecture and design for all types of buildings and demonstrates the emerging collaboration between tasteful architecture, interior design, and environmental responsibility.
Experience the intersection of art and the environment at the Jersey City Museum’s exhibit, SPRAWL, which addresses the issues and problems related to sprawl as we know it in New Jersey. Artists from across the state have been selected to contribute to the exhibit. Other venues participating in SPRAWL are The Shore Institute of the Contemporary Arts, The Arts Guild of Rahway, The Hunterdon Museum of Art, and the Art Galleries at Ramapo College.
