The North Hunterdon Education Foundation (NHEF) is raffling off three framed and signed prints graciously donated by renowned artist, Dan Campanelli. Tickets are $20.00 each for three chances to win. Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.nhhsfoundation.org, at Charlie’s Bootery, 40 Main Street, Clinton, through any NHEF Trustee or by calling 908-410-4948.
The prints, with a value of over $2,000, are all depictions of historical landmarks or scenes unique to Hunterdon County.
“Summer in the Valley” is a limited-edition, signed and numbered giclee print. It depicts the Isaac Potts House, listed on the state and national registry of historic landmarks. The house is located at Washington’s Headquarters in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. This print is quite rare since it is no longer being published and there were only a small number of giclee copies ever made.
“Dickens Days” is a limited-edition artist’s proof, signed and numbered and is an image taken from a popular location in Clinton, New Jersey. Dan Campanelli chose to paint New Jersey’s best-known historic landmark, the Red Mill in Clinton, along with the Hunterdon Art Museum, in a scene that shows both buildings, along the South Branch River, during Clinton’s most popular event, Dickens Days.
The final print,”Lilacs”, an open-edition print, autographed by the artist, is an image of a home in Hunderdon County, circa 1754, which is listed on the state and national registry of historical places.
With the generous donation of these three prints to the North Hunterdon Education Foundation, Dan and his wife Marty continue to show their support for not only students, but for the community at large. The Campanellis feel strongly about the importance of education, and Dan notes that, “Helping high school students focus on the right college and career path is an admirable cause. Hunterdon students need all the help they can get to give them the edge in today’s difficult job market.” As with all funds that NHEF raises, money raised from this raffle will go directly to supporting the mission of the NHEF.
Dan Campanelli has been a nationally recognized artist for over forty years, and prints of his watercolor paintings have been available for almost thirty years, published by the New York Graphic Society, Frames Plus, Inc., and other companies. Prints can be found in galleries, frame shops and on the internet. His first published print in 1986 won recognition as the top-selling print for almost five years. His original paintings of historic dwellings, grist mills, barns, and other landmarks are well represented in public, corporate and private collections throughout the U.S
To see copies of the prints, purchase a ticket or for more information on NHEF, please visit www.nhhsfoundation.org. The drawing will take place on December 8th, 2015.
