As an expression of gratitude for the work the Board Members contribute to the ongoing operations of the New Jersey Art Association. Board Members have been asked to select favorite works for this group exhibit. Works will be in a variety of mediums and reflect the individual styles of the artists. This group of volunteer artists work diligently create a year round series of exhibits around the region and we want to recognize and thank them for their efforts to bring the best visual art to the community.
The New Jersey Art Association is one of the oldest art organizations in the state. Originally formed as the Millburn-Short Hills Art Center, we’ve been a non-profit dedicated to the arts since 1940. Most of our members are visual artists, both amateur and professional. Our common trait is a love of art and a desire to participate in the joys of artistic expression.
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.
