SUMMARY:Evening with an Artist: Marion Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, November 20\, for an engaging evening with exhibiting artist Marion Wilson. Marion will discuss her artistic process and creative approach\, offering insight into the works currently on view in the Art Center’s Main Gallery exhibition\, All That Consumes Me. Following the discussion\, Marion will participate in a Q&A session moderated by VACNJ Curator Jordan Horton\, allowing visitors to ask questions and explore the ideas behind her work in greater depth. \nThe evening will also include food and wine\, offering guests the chance to continue the conversation and connect with fellow art enthusiasts in a relaxed\, social setting. Click here to register! \nMarion Wilson’s art investigates landscape as a way to foster connection to self and place. Through painting\, photography\, and installation\, she explores our relationship to nature amid climate change and ecological loss. Her work often bridges art and science\, partnering with botanists\, architects\, and urban communities to imagine more just and sustainable futures.Wilson approaches social and ecological challenges through the lens of creative inquiry\, using scientific tools and observational methods to “look closely and pay attention to what is small\, omnipresent\, and frequently overlooked—drawing parallels between the natural world and the most fundamental aspects of human presence.” \nWilson is the founder of MLAB and MossLab\, mobile eco/art labs that examined moss species along the East Coast while also serving as classrooms for hundreds of Syracuse students each year. She also founded 601 Tully\, transforming an abandoned residence in Syracuse\, NY into a neighborhood art center\, and more recently reimagined a houseboat in Vineyard Haven\, MA as a floating studio and public platform for environmental dialogue. \nA former Associate Professor at Syracuse University\, Wilson created the award-winning New Directions in Social Sculpture curriculum and collaborated with botanist Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer\, whose teachings on Traditional Ecological Knowledge continue to inform her practice. \n“Compost/Composed”\, Marion Wilson’s work in the exhibition in the galleries is an exploration of humanity’s connection to nature\, community\, and self through food. Working from political\, cultural\, and ecological lenses\, I investigate how these entanglements have been complicated by COVID-19\, which has caused major shifts in the way communities access and experience food together\, furthering issues of scarcity. At the core of the project is an exercise in testing the limits of confinement both artistically and practically: how can art both transform and be transformed by scarcity? Through photography\, painting\, and natural dye-making\, this new work will present each component as both process and product\, following the transformation of food from decomposing compost; to natural\, hand-made dye; to the final artistic work\, to social gathering. \nMarion Wilson divides her time between Brooklyn\, NY and a houseboat on Martha’s Vineyard. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Winter Break Workshops for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Start the year right with a workshop at the Art Center! \n8374 Torch Enameling\nInstructor: Sue Sachs\nTorch enameling is a fantastic way to add vibrant colors to your copper or fine silver pieces without the need for a kiln.

Different techniques of torch enameling will be discussed\, as well as methods for setting finished pieces. No experience is necessary.

Eclectic Non-Traditional Mosaics\nInstructor: Shelley Rosen Howard\nEclectic mosaics can be made with an assortment of recyclable and repurposed items\, such as broken glass\, beads\, charms\, broken china\, found objects\, or treasures from your favorite junk drawer!

SUMMARY:Spring Exhibitions Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey cordially invite you to a special opening of our spring exhibitions on Friday\, February 13\, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. The evening will feature light snacks\, and refreshments will be served. Click here to RSVP for the free event. A daylight hours preview is also available from 4–5 PM. No refreshments will be served at the daylight hours preview. \nThis spring\, VACNJ will showcase three exhibitions that examine various intersections of identity and representation. The exhibitions will feature artists whose work engages with themes such as material culture\, Indigenous identity\, queerness\, and cityscapes\, while questioning how narratives and visibility are controlled and reclaimed. Special attention is paid to the various processes of photography as artists demonstrate contemporary approaches to wet plate\, photogravure\, and other techniques. \nIn partnership with Art Bridges\, the Art Center is proud to host In Conversation: Will Wilson in the Main Gallery. In Conversation presents the works of Diné (Navajo) photographer Will Wilson (b. 1969) and Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952). \nThe investigation of artists’ use of portraiture continues in the Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery with Gabriel Garcia Roman’s solo exhibition Present and Growing. Featured in this solo exhibition are not only his best-known portrait series\, “Queer Icons\,” but also a range of his works that capture his experiences as a queer Mexican-born artist from a working-class family. \nIn the Art Center’s Marité and Joe Robinson Strolling Gallery I\, photographer Chrystofer Davis captures the portrait of a city in his exhibition With Passing Years. In a selection of photos of his hometown of Newark\, NJ\, Davis showcases the personality of the Four Corners District\, combining his work with archival photos courtesy of the Newark Public Library to reveal the many lives the city has lived.
