ABOUT THE CENTER In 1970, the Somerset Art Association was founded in Bernardsville, N.J. by a small group of dedicated artists. In 1995 we moved to our current location in a renovated historic c. 1912 schoolhouse in Bedminster. In 2010, to mark the organization’s 40th anniversary, the Board of Trustees announced the next stage in the organization’s life cycle with a name change to The Center for Contemporary Art. The new name reflects our commitment to broad - ening, deepening and diversifying participation among audiences; to challenging and inspiring students, teachers, artists, enthusiasts and members of the community through the many facets of the visual arts; and to creating a culture of the highest standards and expectations for artistic exploration, interpretation and perception.

The instructor stresses the thinking behind what is being done and the reasons for doing things in a proper sequence. Students concentrate on seeing and controlling values, arriving at a simple formula to start a painting and proceeding in a logical process to finish a work. All students focus on the same subject, solve the same problems, with room for freedom of style in color choices, etc. The class is designed for those who wish to gain control over the medium of watercolor.
