With the 2022 Holiday Season fast approaching, the RMAA has several events planned for the season.
With the Barn Gallery in the process of its long-awaited roof replacement, we continue to have events in other parts of the park while we wait for our 2023 re-opening of the Barn. Our program of rotating artists at the manor coffee shop continues as we begin our year-end holiday planning.
The RMAA will also be having a show and sale during the park’s popular Victorian Christmas event. We will be exhibiting in the manor’s Coffee Shop. Space is very limited in the shop, so please register early at the link: http://ringwoodmanorarts.org/2018-rmaa-holiday-sale-entry-form/
As usual, keep an eye on our social media and website for the latest updates.
We look forward to seeing you and especially look forward to a gallery re-opening in 2023!
As 2022 heads toward its close, we are accepting entries for our 2023 Ringwood State Park wall calendar! Help us showcase your talent and the beauty of Ringwood State Park!
Entries are open to all photographers – You do not need to be an RMAA member to submit.
Artists whose photographs are chosen for the calendar will receive a free copy of the calendar and be asked to exhibit, along with the other winners, at the gallery in 2023.
All profits from calendar sales will go to support the RMAA.
With the Barn Gallery roof replacement project still a work in progress, the calendar will be sold at our other events and at the always popular and well-attended Victorian Christmas event at Ringwood Manor.
We are accepting up to 5 entries through November 12th at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
Entries must reflect Ringwood State Park (Ringwood Manor, Skylands, Long Pond, NJ State Botanical Garden, or Shephard’s Lake) and the submitter must own the copyright to the photo and will retain it after the contest.
Up to 5 entries are permitted.
All entries will be included in an online presentation of the photography shared via Youtube and social media.
Photos must be clear, of good quality, and high resolution — 300 dpi or higher in PNG or JPG format — and no greater than 5MB. If the image resolution is too low you will be asked to supply another photo. If a high-resolution image is unavailable, another photo may be selected to take its place in the calendar.
Photos should be landscape in orientation.
The final images for the calendar will be selected by a panel of RMAA Board Members and/or persons designated by the Board to help with the selections. All Decisions are final.
Artists whose photos are chosen for the calendar will receive a free copy and be asked to exhibit when the gallery reopens in 2023.
Photos included in the 2022 Ringwood State Parks calendar are not eligible.

“I think the bicycle has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike.” -Susan B. Anthony, 1896.
Join Ringwood Manor & the Ringwood Manor Association of the Arts for a day celebrating the historic bicycle and voting rights movement. Learn how the availability of the bicycle in the late 19th century and early 20th century helped give women a sense of freedom not previously available to them, and is often seen hand-in-hand with the fight for women’s suffrage.
Schedule
Throughout the Day: Antique Bicycle display on the front lawn of Ringwood Manor; Antique Suffrage Stamp & Postcard Display; cast your vote in our mock election.
10am- 1pm: Bring your own bicycle to Ringwood Manor & decorate it with supplied materials for our bicycle parade! (see below)
11am-12pm: Lecture by author Sue Macy entitled, “Freedom on Two Wheels: Why Woman’s Suffragists Were Crazy About the Bicycle.” Q & A afterwards, books available to be signed and purchased.
12pm-3pm: Guided interior tours of Ringwood Manor offered in the afternoon (additional fee). Learn about the Cooper & Hewitt families and find out why the Hewitt sisters were active in the Anti-Suffrage Movement!

On Saturday, August 20, please join us for an open mic night on the porch of the Manor House. Enjoy (or perform!) acoustical music, spoken word, and poetry.
Sign-ups begin at 5:30pm, performances are 6pm-8pm.

On Friday, June 17th, the Summer Solstice, Ringwood Manor Park, will hold three Enchanted Evening Tours in partnership with the RMAA. These tours are similar to the extremely popular (and quick to sell out!) Enchanted Evening Tours in the fall season, but this one is on the Summer Solstice.
These hour and a half long tours, starting at 7pm, 8pm, and 9pm, allow visitors to experience Ringwood Manor as the sun sets on one of the longest days of the year!
Guides take groups through the interior of the historic house, telling the various legends and lore about the site, followed by a lantern-lit walk to the cemetery on the property. The sun will just be setting as the 7:00 pm tour heads to the cemetery at dusk, while the 8:00 pm & 9:00 pm tours will have a spookier walk as darkness descends.
Tour groups are limited to 20 ($30 per ticket) and are expected to sell out FAST – ticket sales start at 9 am on Monday, May 30th at the link below.
All sales benefit the Ringwood Manor Association of the Arts.
