Galeria "The Art Venue" will host the closing reception for Measured Tenderness, a solo exhibition by acclaimed printmaker and Kean University Associate Professor Julie Harris, on Wednesday, August 26. The event will feature a live artist demonstration from 4:30–5:30 p.m., followed by a closing reception from 5:30–7:30 p.m., at Galeria "The Art Venue", <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/111+Quimby+Street,+Westfield,+NJ?entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">111 Quimby Street, Westfield, NJ</a>.Measured Tenderness explores the intersection of memory, care, vulnerability, and the body through contemporary printmaking. Combining antique children's garments, anatomical imagery, hand stitching, and photographic processes, Harris examines how love, protection, and inherited expectations become embedded within both objects and the human experience. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the traces left by memory and the quiet rituals of care that shape identity across generations.Beginning at 4:30 p.m., Harris will present a live demonstration of her innovative photographic printmaking process, including the creation of a solarfast print. Visitors will gain an inside look at how light-sensitive materials, layered imagery, and alternative photographic techniques are used to create the richly layered works featured in Measured Tenderness. The demonstration offers a unique opportunity to learn about both the technical process and the conceptual ideas that inform the exhibition.The closing reception, from 5:30–7:30 p.m., invites guests to meet the artist, experience the exhibition in its final hours, and celebrate the culmination of this deeply personal body of work.Julie Harris is an award-winning printmaker and Associate Professor of Studio Art at Kean University. Her work has been exhibited in more than 200 regional, national, and international exhibitions and has received numerous honors, including a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship. Through experimental photographic and printmaking processes, her work investigates themes of memory, identity, healing, and the enduring presence of personal history.Event Details -&nbsp;Measured Tenderness Closing Reception and Artist Demonstration:Demonstration&nbsp;Date: Wednesday, August 26 Artist Demonstration: 4:30–5:30 p.m. Closing Reception: 5:30–7:30 p.m. Location: Galeria "The Art Venue" <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/111+Quimby+Street+%0D%0AWestfield,+NJ?entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">111 Quimby Street</a> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/111+Quimby+Street+%0D%0AWestfield,+NJ?entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Westfield, NJ</a><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/111+Quimby+Street+%0D%0AWestfield,+NJ?entry=gmail&amp;source=g" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>The event is free and open to the public.Media Contact: Julie Harris Associate Professor of Studio Art, Kean University Website: <a href="https://jharrisb010.myportfolio.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">jharrisb010.myportfolio.com</a>
