Springfield Artist Honored

Rick Baer wins award for photograph.

"Railing," a digital photo by Springfield artist Rick Baer, has won an award of excellence at a juried art exhibit now on display in the Renee Foosaner Gallery at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn.

Baer's work and that of almost 70 others will be on view through Aug. 19. The show is sponsored by the Millburn-Short Hills Arts Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of local artists.

The judge for the exhibit was Charles McVicker, an award-winning painter whose works are in the permanent collections of the U.S. Capitol, Princeton University, the DuPont Corporation and Johnson & Johnson as well as many private collections. He is a retired assistant professor of art at the College of New Jersey.
