Princeton, NJ – The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) is proud to present Tarang…A Wave of Joyful Emotion, a vibrant group exhibition featuring the work of three female artists of Indian origin: Divvya Atrii, Hetal Mistry, and Sejal Krishnan. Opening on Saturday, September 6 from 3-5pm in the ACP’s Taplin Gallery, the public is invited to celebrate the artists and their shared exploration of identity, heritage, and feeling through contemporary art.
Tarang, meaning “wave” in Hindi, embodies the motion and emotion at the heart of this exhibition. While each artist brings a distinct voice to the gallery, their works are united by a deep connection to their Indian roots and a fluid embrace of their Western experiences. Together, they present a dynamic dialogue between tradition and modernity, personal introspection and universal themes.
Divvya Atrii draws on traditional Indian folk motifs, blending them with a contemporary sensibility to create works that bridge past and present. Hetal Mistry works in mixed media to craft dreamlike landscapes that reflect her internal waves of thought and feeling. Sejal Krishnan, an abstract artist, uses color and form to communicate emotion and personal narrative, bringing an expressive energy to the collection.
Based in Princeton, NJ, all three artists have exhibited widely throughout the tri-state area. Tarang…A Wave of Joyful Emotion offers a unique opportunity to experience their works in conversation—an interplay of feminine strength, cultural memory, and creative fluidity.
The exhibition will be on view from Sept 6 through Oct 4 in the Arts Council’s Taplin Gallery. A Closing Artist Talk will be held on Oct 4 in the afternoon.

Scenes from Home by Ellie Wyeth will be on display Sept 6–Oct 4 in the Siegal Gallery. Rooted in a personal exploration of Symbolism and Surrealism, this body of work reflects the artist’s search for self within the familiar setting of home. By incorporating animals and birds as symbolic figures in intimate domestic scenes, the work captures a sense of emotional grounding and quiet introspection. Influenced by a background in humorous art and illustration, the artist brings these spaces to life with unexpected visitors—creatures that serve as both guardians and storytellers.
On view in the Lower Level Gallery is the Charles Evans Scholars Annual Exhibition from Sept 6–Oct 4. This annual exhibition celebrates the artistic achievements of exceptional Princeton High School students. Made possible by the Charles Evans Foundation, the scholarship program was established in 2011 to support young artists through a partnership with the Arts Council of Princeton. Many recipients go on to pursue creative paths in college and beyond. The Foundation, created in memory of fashion entrepreneur and philanthropist Charles Evans, continues his legacy of empowering talent through education and the arts.
Opening Receptions for the Siegal Gallery and Lower Level Gallery exhibitions will also be held on Saturday, Sept 6 from 3–5pm — free and open to the public.
