Newton The Newton-Sussex County Arts and Heritage Council kicks off its fall season with an exhibit of accomplished local artists work titled “Bits and Pieces” scheduled to run Sept. 16 - Oct. 21.

The exhibit will open on Sept. 20 and run to Nov. 15 on the second floor of the gallery. For more information call the council at 383-0027 or e-mail arts-heritage@mercurylink.net.
