Arts Council Of Glen Rock And Thielke Arboretum Collaborate Again On Photography Exhibition

September 8 – The Arts Council of Glen Rock and the Friends of the Glen Rock Arboretum have joined together once again to support the Arts, the Arboretum, and Photography. “A Snapshot in Time” is a collaborative exhibition between the two non-profit organizations that will showcase exemplary photography by 13 local residents.

The intent is to showcase the diverse photography skills of local participants while raising awareness about these two organizations' impact on the community.

The exhibition will be open to the public on Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28, from 12 pm to 4 pm at Thielke Arboretum’s Vielbig/Scerbo Environmental Education Center at 460 Doremus Avenue.

A special opening night wine and cheese reception, also open to the public, takes place on Friday, September 26, from 7 pm to 9 pm. Guests can meet the photographers and will be able to join – should they choose to – the host organizations. Many of the curated works will be available for purchase.

Additionally on Saturday, September 27, as an entertaining finale after the exhibition, the Glen Rock Pops Orchestra is performing at 4 pm*. This outdoor event at the Arboretum, held in the space between the gazebo and the pond, is sponsored by Friends of the Glen Rock Arboretum.

Thielke Arboretum is “a serene oasis in the midst of busy suburbia.” Spanning 15 acres, it includes nature trails, gardens, a spring-fed pond, and a sparkling brook, as well as the Environmental Education Center. For more information, visit thielkearboretum.org
