Artists Seek to Inspire Historic Preservation; Barnegat Light Museum Is Temporary Home for Newly Commissioned Works

Fine art and local history collided Sunday afternoon at the Barnegat Light Museum, where appreciators of both gathered to scope the scene and admire the scenery.

The Wildflowers Collective, as the boutique and gallery owned by Cricket Luker are called, pulled together in four months a show of “Historic Preservation Through Art”: 18 commissioned portraits of noteworthy historic homes, businesses and organizations in the borough.
