  • Dennis McNett and Ben Venom: Double Trouble

    Rotary Ice House Gallery

    Monmouth University, Department of Art & Design, in collaboration with Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park is pleased to present Double Trouble, a groundbreaking exhibition uniting the strong works of Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) and Ben Venom. McNett’s large-scale wood carvings and intricate prints stand in powerful dialogue with Venom’s punk-infused quilts and textile works. These boundary-pushing artists transform traditional techniques into bold cultural statements that challenge, provoke, and inspire.

  • Egg Tempera and Silverpoint Class: Using Early Renaissance Techniques Today

    Pollak Gallery

    Class Schedule: Saturday, October 11 | 2 – 5:00 PM
     
    Artist Eileen Kennedy will introduce the early Renaissance techniques of silverpoint and egg tempera, media in most prominent use prior to 1450. After a brief slide lecture about historical and contemporary artists using these materials (i.e. Botticelli and Wyeth), the artist will discuss the materials used to make panels for silverpoint and egg tempera and demonstrate how to make and apply tempera paint. Participants will have the remainder of the workshop to create a still life drawing in silverpoint. Still life objects, paper, and silverpoint styli will be available for use. Kennedy’s own works in silverpoint and egg tempera will be on view in the gallery.

  • Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light

    Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light and Q&A with the Filmmakers

    Pollak Theatre

    Georgia O’Keeffe: the Brightness of Light is a 2-hour documentary exploring the life and art of the most important woman artist of the 20th century – the ”Mother of Modernism.” In the 1920s, O’Keeffe became famous for her paintings of flowers, bones, and the beauty of nature. She posed nude for shocking photographs by Alfred Stieglitz, but denied that her paintings depicted sexual imagery. In the 1970s, she emerged as an iconic role model for women.

    Following the screening, Producer Ellen Casey Warner and Director Paul Wagner will host a discussion to share insights into the making of the documentary and answer audience questions.

  • Art for the Non-Artist

    Bey Hall

    Can’t even draw a stick figure? Struggle with perfectionism?
    This isn’t your average art class—it’s a creative empowerment workshop created especially for those who think they can’t draw. You’ll learn to draw with both technical skill and confidence—in just one session. With a single feather as your subject, you’ll learn to slow down and really see—translating its shape and texture into a drawing through focused observation. Each drawing will reflect the individual behind it—created entirely by your own hand, and completed with real technical skill, even if it’s your very first time.

    All materials provided. No experience needed.

  • La Sonnambula

    Pollak Theatre

    In his new production, Rolando Villazón—the tenor who has embarked on a brilliant second career as a director—retains the opera’s original setting in the Swiss Alps but uses its somnambulant plot to explore the emotional and psychological valleys of the mind. Tenor Xabier Anduaga co-stars as Amina’s fiancé, Elvino, alongside soprano Sydney Mancasola as her rival, Lisa, and bass Alexander Vinogradov as Count Rodolfo. Riccardo Frizza takes the podium for one of opera’s most ravishing works, which will be transmitted live from the Met stage to Pollak Theatre on October 18.

    Due to wet ground conditions, there will be no parking on the Pollack/Great Lawnfield tomorrow. Please park in the soccer fields or identify yourself to the football parking assistants as performing art patrons, and the fee will be waived.

    Thank you, and enjoy the show!

    $23 (general public); $21 (seniors), $10 (child) and $5 (Monmouth U. Students)
