“Petal to the Metal” is an original gouache painting on paper by Janet Perlberg. A lavender bicycle stretches across a lively pink background, framed by red flowers and green foliage. Bright red details on the seat and handlebars connect the bicycle to the floral elements and give the composition a playful sense of movement.
Medium: Gouache on Paper
Size: 11 x 14, framed
Artist Statement: People cherish images of what they love most, what is powerful and what's most important to them. This is why museums are filled with portraits of lovers and prominent figures. I love bicyles. This series of paintings is portraits of bicycles of friends who also love bicycles. Who needs another pet portrait when your pets have never let you ride them in the sunshine, downhill or gliding past the sea. (Horse owners excluded)
Such a fun date night. Very helpful and friendly staff. I also bought some prints to bring home. Can't wait to go again soon.
Had a lovely time here with my partner. I love the concept of the place. We especially appreciated that there were art projects available for a variety of skill levels. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful. The attached art supply thrift store is very cool too.
Had such an amazing time with my daughter!! So many options for us to choose from. Staff are also encouraging and support you at any skill level :-)
I hosted a small get together for my daughter’s tenth birthday and I couldn’t be happier.
The staff was kind, patient and encouraging. They truly made all of the girls feel comfortable and supported, helping them bring their ideas to life.
I especially loved that each child created something completely unique!
We recently held a team-building event at Asbury Park Art Club and had a fantastic experience. The venue has a cool, artsy seaside vibe and aesthetic that sets a creative tone. Our small group of 7 made Découpage Seashells, which is a seasonal project. Karen and her staff were very attentive throughout the process, providing guidance to our group and ensuring we had everything we needed. It’s the perfect space for a small group seeking a unique experience.
What a wonderful little gem in Asbury Park. We made our crafts and had plenty of encouragement from the owner and staff. I highly recommend this place for a fun afternoon with kids (and not so little kids!)
Local art for sale, art thrift shop & an Art cafe! What a fabulous place! Can’t wait to return with my friends to create our own art!
Read what others are saying - or, if you’ve joined us for an art project, event, or just some spontaneous shopping, we’d love to hear from you.

Had such a fun afternoon crafting with my kids! Jeanette and Skyla were super helpful and knowledgeable. The local art for sale and the art supply thrift shop are fun to see and browse too!
