Somerville, NJ -- Local flavor meets fine art this summer as Somerville Arts (formerly Arts on Division) and Verve Restaurant team up to launch Art with Brunch, a curated one-off event blending visual art, delicious food, and creative conversation in the heart of downtown Somerville.
On Sunday, June 29, from 11–5 p.m., Art with Brunch invites guests to experience a lineup of local artists in an intimate outdoor setting. Brunch is served from 11-3 p.m. and brunch reservations are required. Guests can make a reservation through the Verve website at https://www.vervestyle.com/reservations.
The event features graffiti artist Leon Rainbow, local painter Leslie Floyd, Momma Bear Pottery and Ed Dyke Pottery, printmaker Tracy Coon, multi-media artist Susan Antin, abstract work by Valentino Fine Art and many more. Guests will enjoy conversations with the artists while savoring Verve’s French-inspired brunch offerings.
“This is about more than art for your walls,” says Antin. “It’s about making space for connection, inviting people into the story behind the work—and sharing a meal while we do it.”
“Somerville has a thriving creative community,” says Rick St. Pierre of Verve.. “This event is an invitation to slow down, look closely, and support the arts in a way that feels warm, personal, and deliciously local.”
The event is free to attend, with food and drinks available for purchase à la carte. Reservations for brunch are required through Verve Restaurant. Brunch attendees can enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne or wine. Learn more at https://www.artsondivision.com/art-with-brunch-at-verve-restaurant
