In January 2011 the first exhibit of the year featured New Hope artist Pearl Mintzer's whacky, whimsical, and colorful oil paintings. The show was very well received, so Cooperman went on to invite other artists working in the contemporary style.

Our walls have come alive with vibrant, bright, colorful original abstract and contemporary figurative paintings, cityscapes, landscapes, still life, oil and acrylic paintings on canvas. Glass sculpture by Barney Stone is our most recent addition to the contemporary motif. Clients, visitors, and collectors have responded to the addition of the new style work with great enthusiasm which recent sales figures have shown. A younger group of people have been particularly attracted by the reasonably priced, more affordable additions.

The "Dutch Room" which was dedicated to the late Larry Leckerman in 2005 when Bucks County Gallery relocated from Doylestown PA, is now filled with artwork by nine contemporary artists from the United States and Ireland. More than 50 artists responded to the call seeking representation. Others, not selected yet, are on a waiting list.

Still featuring a large collection of traditional artwork by 35 other artists, has only added to the beautiful eclectic variety of art the gallery has been offering for the past three decades. "We take pride in offering works of art by so many award winning artists who have earned notability across the United States and abroad" said Cooperman.

Sandy Askey Adams, Jeanne Bessette, Dot Bunn, Christine Drewyer, Berc Ketchian, Michael Fratrich, Katharine Krieg, Christine Marx, Tim Simboli, Victor Mordasov, Michael McGuire, George McMonigle, Richard Summons, and John Nolan are just a few artists proud to be represented by Bucks County Gallery.
