A majestic monarch butterfly, egrets caught in mid-flight and peaceful coastline scenes are among the works by Rutherford resident Fred Dammers on display this month at the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission’s (NJMC) Flyway Gallery in the Meadowlands Environment Center.

    The exhibit, titled “A Personal Perspective,” runs from Feb. 2 through Feb. 27.

   Dammers, a lifelong Rutherford resident and frequent visitor to DeKorte Park – the home of the Flyway Gallery – uses traditional and digital photography to capture stunning views of nature and cityscapes. The NJMC is proud to host his first public exhibit.

    The NJMC created the Flyway Gallery to help foster the cultural identity of the Meadowlands District by providing a space to showcase the talent of local artists. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free. For information, please call (201) 460-8300 or visit ww.njmeadowlands.gov/ec.
