On Sunday, September 21, the official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt will take place in Yogi Berra Stadium in Montclair, New Jersey, with pairs organized on the ballfield and concourse in assigned

positions, three meters (9’ 10”) apart from one another. The stadium is named for the late Yogi Berra, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Berra was a star catcher for the New York Yankees and a manager for both the Yankees

and the Mets. He was a longtime Montclair resident.

Athletes from Buddy Baseball will have an opportunity to play catch with their teammate or a Buddy, or they can be spectators for the event.

Pete Amadeo, Bayonne’s Superintendent of Recreation, stated, “We are very excited for this opportunity for our athletes to participate in a record-breaking event. They will be part of something special, together, that will be in the record books!”

For anyone interested in being a Buddy for Buddy Baseball athletes, please contact Pete Amadeo at 201-858-6129 or email BAYONNEREC@ AOL.COM.

Drawing Rooms is excited to announce THREE SHOWS running from Now to 10/05/25!

“formless” in The Terrarium Gallery

“Anders Goldfarb: Ash Avenue”

DR Solo Project Space

“Photography in The Alcove Gallery”

The Terrarium Gallery at Drawing Rooms features a group show on the concept of “formless”.

The exhibit features nearly 80 works by more than 60 artists. “formless” works can project a sense of poetic lightness, fragility, and etherealness in weight, volume, color, or mass, or that may be atmospheric and seem to defy gravity. Some of the works may evoke within the viewer a meditative sense of calm, in others, a sense of mystery, including works that are abstract, objective, nonobjective, narrative, or imbued with formal qualities of line and shape.

formless Artists: Aimee Mower-

Lally, Ajean Ryan, Amy Faris, Andrea DeFelice, Andrew Schwartz, Anne Gilley, Anne Trauben, Ben Goldman, Beverly O’Mara, Bruce Dunbar, Cara London, Carin Kulb Dangot, Charles Marburg,

“I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.”

–Bob Dylan

In keeping with our love of music, this show is dedicated to Bob Dylan, whose music, known for its poetic blend of folk and rock and socially conscious lyrics, evolved from acoustic ballads to electric anthems, and his

style morphed, pushed boundaries, and set trends that influenced generations of musicians with his unique voice and literary approach to popular music. Dylan’s song, Shelter From the Storm, relates to our Formless theme, and we especially like it.

Drawing Rooms

Project and Alcove Gallery focuses on 5 Photographers.

Drawing Rooms Solo

Project Space: Anders Goldfarb-”Ash Avenue” Ash Avenue is an allegorical autobiography alluding to memory, experience and fate. “In 1988, I began selecting some of my surreal and visceral images that reflected my life. After years of editing, I completed the project.” Photography in the Alcove Gallery: 4 series of works Amy Becker: DEAD RINGERS: Portraits of abandoned payphones in public places.

Edward Fausty: “Moving Mountains” Taken from a moving car in China, the large-scale muted toned images recall classic Chinese painting, and convey the experience of moving through the landscape.

Lynne Breitfeller: “After the Fire: Water-Damaged” explores photographs as memory by examining the shape-shifting potential of altered images

Peter Emerick: “Koans” is a body of work that the artist has been exploring for over 30 years. It is a series of photographs of traffic cones taken on the street and in the studiospun into hypnotic patterns. All shows were curated by Anne Trauben.
