It is with heavy hearts that we announce the news that Newark's first arts gallery founder (of Aard Studio Gallery) and one of Newark's arts education champions (a commercial art educator at Essex County Vocational High School), and pillar of the Newark and international arts community, Gladys Barker Grauer, has passed away at the age of 96.

Please continue to lift up her light by:
