SUMMARY:Disco Inferno!\, Part I
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: September 11\, 16\, & 18\, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nDance music had existed since at least the 1930s\, but the beat took on a new meaning in the 1970s. The four-on-the-floor beat\, wah-wah guitar\, horns\, funky bass\, and soulful vocals invited people from various backgrounds onto the floor.  The craze may have ended by 1980\, but the music never died; instead\, the genre transformed into other genres such as House and Electronic Dance Music (EDM).  Disco Inferno\, a two-part course\, will explore the history of disco\, from its origins through its heyday and beyond. \n\n\nPart one looks at the roots of disco\, from James Brown’s extended breaks to Philadelphia International’s groundbreaking\, lush productions.  New York and Africa played key roles in the development of disco\, as did a perfect storm of social and political issues: women’s rights\, gay rights\, civil rights\, the aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate\, and much more.  Students will learn about the rise of disco\, its characteristics\, and the key artists of its early years.  No prior knowledge of the Hustle is required! \n\nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Hilary Mantel\, Wolf Hall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. \nHilary Mantel was the bestselling author of many novels including Wolf Hall\, which won the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction. Bring Up the Bodies\, Book Two of the Wolf Hall Trilogy\, was also awarded the Man Booker Prize and the Costa Book Award. She also wrote A Change of Climate\, A Place of Greater Safety\, Eight Months on Ghazzah Street\, An Experiment in Love\, The Giant\, O’Brien\, Fludd\, Beyond Black\, Every Day Is Mother’s Day\, Vacant Possession\, and a memoir\, Giving Up the Ghost. Mantel was the winner of the Hawthornden Prize\, and her reviews and essays have appeared in The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, and the London Review of Books. \nEngland in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir\, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years and marry Anne Boleyn. The pope and most of Europe opposes him. Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man\, a charmer and a bully\, both idealist and opportunist\, astute in reading people\, and implacable in his ambition. But Henry is volatile: one day tender\, one day murderous. Cromwell helps him break the opposition\, but what will be the price of his triumph?

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen – Hopper: An American Love Story
DESCRIPTION:A film by BAFTA award-winning director Phil Grabsky \n\n“An impressive biography”\nThe Guardian \nHopper’s work is the most recognizable art in America – popular\, praised\, and mysterious. Countless painters\, photographers\, filmmakers and musicians have been influenced by his art – but who was he\, and how did a struggling illustrator create such a bounty of notable work? \nThis new film takes a deep look into Hopper’s art\, his life\, and his relationships. From his early career as an illustrator; his wife giving up her own promising art career to be his manager; his critical and commercial acclaim; and in his own words – this film explores the enigmatic personality behind the brush. \nCombined with expert interviews\, diaries and a startling visual reflection of American life\,\nHopper – An American love story brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist. \n\n“A must-see”\nThe Spectator \n“An incredible document”\nMonocle \n \n

SUMMARY:Into the Wild\, Art Exhibit by Eileen Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Friday\, Sept. 26\, 6-8pm \nGallery Exhibit: September 1 – October 25\, 2025 \nEileen Kennedy’s narrative art explores the relationship between contemporary humans and the natural world. The artist holds a BFA from Pratt Institute. She also studied at the Arts Students League of New York\, the Hartford Art School\, and numerous workshops. \nKennedy emerged from Pratt in 1977 as an abstract painter; however\, within a few years the narrative urge brought her back to figurative work. She enrolled in night classes at the Art Students League to refresh her drawing skills and for the next two decades made life-scale\, figurative oil paintings and drawings influenced by the Flemish school\, especially Jan van Eyck and Rogier Van der Weyden. \nIn 2009\, she took some time out to explore egg tempera\, a medium that had enchanted her since she discovered the work of George Tooker while still in art school. She completed several workshops with contemporary egg tempera master\, Koo Schadler. Kennedy found this medium perfectly suited her linear style and love for detail. She soon gave away her oil paints and brushes. \nKennedy has exhibited throughout the mid-Atlantic region and beyond including the Brooklyn Museum\, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art\, Monmouth Museum\, Widener University Art Museum\, Attleboro Arts Museum\, Painted Bride Art Center\, AIR Gallery\, Blue Mountain Gallery\, Monmouth University\, Williams Center for the Arts\, Manifest Center for the Arts\, Dacia Gallery\, Lore Degenstein Gallery and others. Her works have been featured in the New York Times\, Philadelphia Inquirer\, Newark Star Ledger\, American Art Collector Magazine\, Fine Art Connoisseur Newsletter\, Create Magazine and other publications. \nIn 1995 and 2022 Kennedy was awarded artist fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. In 2022 her work was included in the Lunar Codex Project\, which sent images of art from all over the world to the moon in 2024. Her work is included in the collections of the Yuko Nii Foundation\, Riverview Medical Center\, Pratt Institute and numerous private\ncollections. The artist lives and works in Toms River\, New Jersey. When not making\nart\, she plays mandolin in the Celtic trio\, The Kilkenny Cats. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition on Screen - The Danish Collector
DESCRIPTION:“This beautifully realised documentary showcases a treasure trove of some of the finest Impressionist artworks ever painted.”  Sydney Arts Review \nFor many years no-one was interested in the art of the Impressionists. Artists like Monet\, Degas and Renoir were vilified\, attacked\, and left penniless as a result. \nThen\, something remarkable happened. A new breed of collectors emerged and\, before long\, they were battling to acquire any work by these new\, radical artists that they could find. Amongst them was the visionary Danish businessman Wilhelm Hansen. It was an extraordinary moment in art history; full of drama\, intrigue and subterfuge. \n“Films such as… The Danish Collector are an invaluable step in ensuring that art is shared widely”  FilmInk \nSome collectors we may recognise and some we may not\, but Hansen amassed a remarkable collection housed at his summer home\, Ordrupgaard\, on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Exhibition on Screen tells his fascinating story and\, with exclusive access to a sell-out exhibition at London’s Royal Academy\, brings the extraordinary collection to the big-screen in glorious high-definition. \nFrom Hansen’s beautiful house and gardens at Ordrupgaard to the streets of bohemian Paris\, this film takes you on a journey to discover some of the best examples of 19th-century French art ever collected. \nDirected by David Bickerstaff

SUMMARY:Mark Haddon\, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This week’s book is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. \nNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic—both poignant and funny—about a boy with autism who sets out to solve the murder of a neighbor’s dog and discovers unexpected truths about himself and the world.\n\n“Disorienting and reorienting the reader to devastating effect…. Suspenseful and harrowing.” —The New York Times Book Review\n\nChristopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7\,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating\, unusual\, and widely heralded novels in recent years.

SUMMARY:John Irving\, The World According to Garp
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! This weeks book is The World According to Gary by John Irving \nNew York Times bestseller — 20th anniversary edition with a new afterword from the author — “A wonderful novel\, full of energy and art\, at once funny and horrifying and heartbreaking.”- The Washington Post\n\nThis is the life and times of T. S. Garp\, the bastard son of Jenny Fields–a feminist leader ahead of her times.  This is the life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual extremes–even of sexual assassinations.  It is a novel rich with “lunacy and sorrow”; yet the dark\, violent events of the story do not undermine a comedy both ribald and robust.  In more than thirty languages\, in more than forty countries– with more than ten million copies in print–this novel provides almost cheerful\, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: “In the world according to Garp\, we are all terminal cases.” \nPraise for The World According to Garp \n“John Irving\, it is abundantly clear\, is a true artist.” – Los Angeles Times \n“A brilliant panoply of current attitudes toward sex\, marriage and parenthood\, the feminist movement and – above all – the concept of delineated sexual roles… Irving’s characters will stay alive for years to come.” – Chicago Tribune \n“A social tragi-comedy of such velocity that it reads rather like a domestic sequel to Catch-22.” – The Observer (London) \n“A large talent announces itself on practically every page.” – The Book-of-the-Month Club News

SUMMARY:EOS Encore - Michelangelo: Love & Death
DESCRIPTION:The spectacular sculptures and paintings of Michelangelo seem so familiar to us\, but what do we really know about this Renaissance giant? Michelangelo’s genius is evident in everything he touched. Beautiful and diverse works such as the towering statue of David\, the moving Pietà in the Papal Basilica of St. Peter and his tour-de-force\, the Sistine Chapel ceiling\, still leave us breathless today. \nSpanning his 88 years\, Michelangelo – Love and Death takes a cinematic journey through the print and drawing rooms of Europe through the great chapels and museums of Florence\, Rome and the Vatican to seek out a deeper understanding of this legendary figure’s tempestuous life\, his relationship with his contemporaries and his incredible legacy. \nThrough expert commentary\, stunning visuals and Michelangelo’s own words\, this film takes a fresh look at a master artist whose life and genius are celebrated in every mark he made. Returning to cinemas in 2025 to celebrate this iconic artist’s 550th birthday. \nSculptor\, painter\, architect\, poet\, genius – discover why Michelangelo is without a doubt one of the greatest artists of all time.
