Suddenly a snowy landscape goes perfectly with the show at the MAC through Jan. 27.
A special exhibit at the Middletown Arts Center coincides perfectly with a day when newly fallen snow transforms the view out of our windows into a stark visual landscape, where pearled lawns are painted with the bluish strokes of leafless trees. An exhibit currently on view through Jan. 27 called "Let It Snow 2013" includes 40 pieces of art created by local community artists.

Work from the MAMS Art Club will be on display at the library throughout the summer
It started in a parent-teacher conference at the Matawan Aberdeen Middle School.

"I wanted to do some art advocacy in Matawan and I didn't know how to do that," Thompson said. "Art is underrepresented in the scholastic environment.
