See Beauty Everywhere: Art by Priscilla Snow Algava
Opening Reception Recap

On Saturday, July 19, West Windsor Arts welcomed 128 guests to the opening reception of our summer exhibition, See Beauty Everywhere—and what a celebration it was!

The gallery came alive with vibrant artwork, joyful conversation, and a shared appreciation for the expressive, soulful paintings of Priscilla Snow Algava. Guests reconnected with old friends, made new ones, and joined in creative expression with hands-on collage-making in the studio.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our visitors, we’ve already sold 17 works of art—raising $2,845 for the Priscilla Snow Algava Scholarship Fund, which helps ensure that art experiences at West Windsor Arts remain accessible to all. Every art purchase supports this fund, and each buyer received a complimentary giclée print—a beautiful reminder to carry Priscilla’s message with them: see beauty everywhere.

The merch table was bustling, too, with sales of t-shirts, pillows, glassware, and more featuring Priscilla’s inspiring mantra. All proceeds support the scholarship fund, amplifying the impact of every contribution.

Guests also enjoyed a moving video portrait of Priscilla by Ricardo Barros, now available to view HERE, offering a touching glimpse into her life and vision.

The evening was filled with flavor and rhythm—delicious Mediterranean fare donated by Mediterra was devoured in no time, and the live performance by culture b delgado energized the gallery with their vibrant sound. (Yes, it was a bit loud for some, but the vibe was undeniable!)

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who made this evening so memorable. If you haven’t yet visited, now is the time! See Beauty Everywhere runs through August 8, 2025, and there’s still time to experience this joyful and heartfelt show. Original works are still available—and every purchase directly supports our mission of making the arts more accessible to all.
