For immediate release:

Belmar, NJ, October 26, 2009 - Banks are known for offering their customers special incentives or unique gifts. Thanks to a unique collaboration with the Belmar Arts Council, Central Jersey Bank in Belmar is offering its customers a delightful aesthetic experience to enhance their banking transactions. The works of twenty-seven local artists from the BAC will brighten the walls of the Main Street Bank until December 4^th during the bank's regular hours.

The opportunity to see the impressive variety of pieces should entice local customers to walk right past the ATM machine in the lobby, through the doors, and into the bank itself. Once inside, they are sure to be delighted as they move from wall to wall, admiring the oils and watercolors, pastels and acrylics on display. Visitors to the show will recognize some local landmarks, like the pastel version of the "Asbury Park Carousel Window" and the framed photograph of the "Boats of Belmar." Shoppers seeking out that special gift or art lovers looking to add an original oil to their collection will find much to choose from among the works for sale.

For more information and directions to the BoatWorks please visit the BAC web site at www.BelmarArts.org.
