Art Program

About Our Exhibitions

Oyster Point Gallery Exhibitions, originally conceived by Vice President Kevin Barry, and currently curated by Ellen Martin, provide a prestigious and viable alternative gallery venue to artists from New Jersey and nearby locations. 

Both emerging and established artists, many of whom are award-winning, have been included in the exhibitions that are shown in the public spaces of the first two floors of the Hotel. 

The work is primarily two-dimensional and encompasses painting, photography, wall-mounted sculpture, collage, and collaborative work. The Gallery is an asset both to our community and guests of the Hotel.

Colin is a chess master and a mathematician whose art work reflects those aspects of his life. He also designed and painted our awning. We support local artists and encourage you to do the same.

Here I am with Joe Borzotta, the creator of those wonderful paintings behind us. Last year, on my second studio visit with Joe, I asked him to hold these paintings for me. He did, and now I have four of them in this exhibit. I love how his mind works.

There's something about the stillness of these pieces that makes them timeless and ever so slightly eerie.
