Art and History – Looking for Artists To Interpret History with Art

Views: 7,220

The Mr. Local History Project is looking for any artists to interpret our local history boards to create memorable images of local history for the Somerset Hills communities of Bernardsville, Bernards Township, Bedminster, Peapack and Gladstone.

We are also looking for art teachers to consider programs where an entire art class works to create their own collection with ties to our collective local history.

UPDATE:
MLH tried the new computer technology called Image AI that can generate an image based on a description.
The result was not so impressive.
We still need artists. Will you volunteer to capture our local history with art?

Using the tool Kapwing AI, this was the generation it created. Long way to go right?

If you’re interested in volunteering, drop us a note and we can connect to discuss.

Open to anyone who wants to help us preserve and promote local history.
