On a chilly weekend in mid-February, Sickles Market in Little Silver opened its greenhouse to local artists, giving them a lush, open and perhaps most importantly, warm space to showcase their work.
redbankgreen caught up with some the areas painters, sculptors and photographers Sunday to get their views on why the yearly event is so important to local artists.
Bruce Perlmutter, a woodturner from Red Bank, specializes in intricate wooden bowls and other pieces he cuts exclusively out of wood he salvages. Many of the wooden sculptures on display were made from wood he picked up in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
