"Landscape, whether real or imagined, is always site specific," says curator and preeminent New Jersey landscape painter Peter Homitzky. "I looked for artists that have at least one foot planted in their own time, and who are aware of historical precedents and use them not to mimic, but as an aid in developing their personal point of view. Point of view [is] the essential element in creating a personal visual language and process that defines an artist."
City Without Walls (cWOW) is an urban gallery of emerging art that advances the careers of artists while building the audience for contemporary art. Founded in 1975, cWOW is New Jersey's oldest not-for-profit alternative art space. cWOW is a three-time recipient of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Citation of Excellence. cWOW is funded in part by the Prudential Foundation, Geraldine R.
