Art in the Atrium: Visual Voices
Art in the Atrium, Inc. (ATA), a non-profit arts organization founded in Morris County that champions Black art excellence, returns with its fifth major exhibition at Mayo Performing Arts Center’s Art Upstairs and Starlight Galleries.
In its continued partnership with MPAC, ATA presents Visual Voices. The exhibit runs from January 16 through March 2.
Join us at MPAC for our artists’ reception on Wednesday, Jan. 28 from 5 pm – 8 pm. Complimentary wine and cheese will be served. Free admission. RSVP here!
The theme, “Visual Voices,” refers to raising voices artistically which resonate to project a goal or an idea visually. Understanding sight as the eyes’ ability to discern, and vision as the brain’s ability to process and interpret, the art created will combine meaningful mental and visual imagery. These together will comprise an expressive voice. Aristotle saw the voice as the art of bringing thoughts to light, connecting the inner world with the outside. The artwork that is created through foresight and imagination will visually perpetuate and give rise to our voices through the arts, as Art in The Atrium has always done.
The Art Upstairs Gallery is a gift of the John and Margaret Post Foundation.
The Starlight Gallery is a gift of Wendy and Jay Birnbaum
About the Galleries
The Art Upstairs Gallery is located in the balcony lobby of Mayo Performing Arts Center. Exhibits are varied and showcase visual artists from a variety of mediums including watercolor, oil, photography, sculpture and more. Each year, the works of over 200 artists are showcased in group exhibits. Recent groups that have been showcased include the Essex Watercolor Club, New Jersey Photography Forum, Art in the Atrium and the Pastel Society of New Jersey. The Art Upstairs Gallery is a gift of the John and Margaret Post Foundation.
The Starlight Gallery is adjacent to our Starlight Room, MPAC’s donor lounge. Exhibits feature individual exhibits by accomplished local artists. The Starlight Gallery is a gift of Wendy and Jay Birnbaum.
The galleries provide a unique opportunity to marry the visual and performing arts, and provide exposure to artists with an audience that may not normally frequent an art gallery. All artwork is available for purchase.
The Galleries are open to ticket holders prior to shows, during intermission, by appointment and every Tuesday afternoon from 12:00 -2:00. For more information, please contact Charles Miller at cmiller1@mayoarts.org or Lee Kaloidis at 973-539-0345 x6587.
