Join the NJ Urban Sketchers as we make a visit to the Van Vleck House and Gardens at 21 Van Vleck Street in Montclair on Saturday, August 22nd.


This unique and well-tended property belonged to a Brooklyn family who bequeathed it to Montclair. It features a u-shaped Italianate villa, a children's butterfly garden, a wisteria courtyard, an azalea walk, and a visitor's center. There are many painterly subjects, and also nice pockets of shade. Bring a stool for greater choices.

RSVP and any questions to Julia: jazaz7658@gmail.com.

21 Van Vleck St, Montclair, NJ 07042

If you get lost, (551) 206-1273. Small parking lot on premises and free on the street parking.

We are scheduled to start at 10:30, but come at 10:00 if that's better for you, as Julia will be there early. The property is open from dawn to dusk.
