The Village of Egg Harbor’s Public Arts Initiative and the Richeson School of Art & Gallery are jointly presenting A Lifetime of Art: a retrospective of the artwork collected by Jack Richeson, including watercolor, oil, casein and pastel paintings.

It will open with a free, public reception May 30, 5-7 pm, at Egg Harbor’s Kress Pavilion, and will remain on display until fall 2019.

An avid collector, Richeson is dedicated to furthering appreciation for original art and the artists who create it. He and his family have collected more than 500 original pieces and continue to add to their collection.

Artists whose work will appear in the exhibit include Zoltan Szabo, Stephen Quiller, Frank Francese, Ramone Kelly, Buffalo Kaplinski, James Gurney, Chris VanWinkle and Roger Bassemer.
