Hightstown Cultural Arts Commission Offers “300+1” Wall Calendar to Celebrate the Borough’s 300th Anniversary

The Hightstown Cultural Arts Commission is offering an 18-month wall calendar that combines historical images of the Borough with artistic renderings and interpretations. The calendar features archived photos of historic sites in the Borough and the work of eleven local artists that interpret or re-imagine those sites. The work of artists are in a variety of artistic media including digital collage, painting, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, embroidery, and quilting.

“This anniversary calendar is a great way to celebrate a milestone moment in Hightstown’s history,” states Cultural Arts Commission Chair, Ann Marie Miller, “I hope Borough residents will take pride when using it to note the deep and colorful history and the artistic talent that exists in Hightstown and neighboring East Windsor.”       

Commission Vice-Chair Adam Welch further states, “Supporting this calendar ensure that our community has access to the arts while it preserves the history of Hightstown. This project would not have been possible without the Cultural Arts Commission, the Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society, support from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission, the Hightstown Borough Council, and all of the participating artists.”

Calendars are available with a suggested donation of $20 and each month has two dates featuring the current date, the day of the week in the year 1721, and features federal holidays, national holidays, and text that represents historical events occurring on that date in the Borough.

Calendars are available at Perennial Home and Handmade Art Studio in Hightstown, and by emailing the Hightstown Cultural Arts Commission at cac@hightstownborough.com
