Metuchen Inspirations with Betsy Robin Schwartz and Adam Fensterheim
Our current exhibit, “Metuchen Vibes,” has a piece by Adam Fensterheim inspired by the poem “Someone Is Singing: A Poem for Metuchen’s Centennial https://betsy0201.wixsite.com/about/poetry/someone-is-singing by international award-winning poet Betsy Robin Schwartz https://betsy0201.wixsite.com/about
Along with reading her poetry, Betsy discussed her Metuchen-inspired writing and how Metuchen has inspired other writers. Adam discussed how the poem inspired him as a Metuchen artist. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with and share memories with Betsy, Adam, and other Metuchen Vibes artists.
WE’RE GLAD YOU CAME on September 21, 2025, at 2pm for the lively performance and discussion about Metuchen’s Centennial and literary heritage. Stay tuned for more events from Friends of Metuchen Arts.
