History: The New Art Group (NAG) is a group of 7 New Jersey artists that is 15 years old and they have done 36 group shows. The group was formed out of the Visual Arts Committee at the Watchung Arts Center (WAC). They were responsible for arts show in the lower and upper galleries for 7 years. During this time Jim Fuess was the curator at the WAC. We are now returning to our roots after a 7 year hiatus.

The Gallery: The upper gallery where these shows will be held is 30x40 feet with 12 foot ceilings, track lighting, and a Walker hanging system. The room is also used for various concerts, comedy shows and other events. This means that a large number of people see the art shows.
