New Jersey Artists Have Much to Say about the State of the Planet

Is it OK to brag about our state? New Jersey often gets a bad rap, but those of us who live and work here know that among its many assets is the presence of some of the finest artists.


'Neither on Our Knees nor Hanging From Trees' - Alison Saar and Toni Morrison Foster the "Cycle of Creativity" of Black Women

Hair. It seems a trivial topic to lead off with when discussing two of the most accomplished, influential women in literature and the arts. And yet you can't ignore the references to the reclamation of Black female identity through hair in the artwork of Alison Saar.


Newark's New Harriet Tubman Monument a Model for Community Engagement in Public Art

The city of Newark, New Jersey unveiled its long-awaited Harriet Tubman monument March 9 with great excitement. Four days of community celebrations and events followed. With visual, audio and tactile components, "Shadow of a Face" is not a statue to view from a distance, but a place to see, hear, touch, spend time and reflect on stories. Designed by Jamaican-born, Montclair-based Nina Cooke John, this unique public art project will be visited, studied, and celebrated for years to come.


Speaking Out Through Art

In the days leading up to Purim – the holiday during which Jews rejoice, don costumes and perform skits, eat triangular cookies filled with jam, and thank Queen Esther for saving them from persecution – Michigan’s attorney general announced she had been targeted in a threat to kill Jewish members of state government.


"Les Paul Thru the Lens" Exhibition Comes to Monmouth University

(WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- The Les Paul Foundation, whose mission includes honoring and sharing the life, spirit and legacy of Les Paul presents "Les Paul Thru the Lens," an exclusive traveling gallery of photos highlighting the life and career of Les Paul, the inventor, musician and icon.
