Some things just don’t belong. This show will feature a collective of art that shows something unnatural or slightly off. Think of fabricated landscapes, experimental process, science fiction, or even something that just might be not considered “normal”. Slightly unsettling, imaginative works that make you question reality can be seen at this exhibit. Artist Reception: May 16th from 1-3pm.

TRIVIA TUESDAY on Zoom, 7 PM - Tuesdays through June. Join us live via Zoom for trivia each Tuesday. Each week two rounds will be played featuring Burlington County history, world events, general history, pop culture, and many others. It is sure to be a fun time! You will receive a Zoom link prior to the event. Register for each session online: https://secure.rec1.com/NJ/burlington-county-nj-/catalog/index?filter=c2VhcmNoPXRyaXZpYQ==

We are happy to announce the opening of the Burlington County Farmers Market on May 23. While we know that our customers have enjoyed spending time at the Market to socialize with friends and vendors, listen to the live music, or sit in on a cooking demonstration, we have had to make changes due to the COVID-19 crisis. At this time, our focus must be on the core mission of the Market - to give local farmers the opportunity to market their produce directly to the consumer and give the public access to fresh, locally grown produce and value-added products. For the foreseeable future, there will be no musical entertainment or cooking demonstrations. Only agricultural vendors and prepared food vendors will be able to participate at the market.
