Into the Wild, Art Exhibit by Eileen Kennedy
2025-09-01 09:00 - 2025-10-25 17:00 | Pollak Gallery
Artist Reception: Friday, Sept. 26, 6-8pm
Gallery Exhibit: September 1 – October 25, 2025
Eileen 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.
Kennedy 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.
In 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.
Kennedy 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.
In 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
collections. The artist lives and works in Toms River, New Jersey. When not making
art, she plays mandolin in the Celtic trio, The Kilkenny Cats.

Exhibition on Screen – Hopper: An American Love Story
2025-09-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Pollak Theatre
A film by BAFTA award-winning director Phil Grabsky

“An impressive biography”
The Guardian
Hopper’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?
This 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.
Combined with expert interviews, diaries and a startling visual reflection of American life,
Hopper – An American love story brings to life America’s arguably most influential artist.

Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall
2025-09-09 19:30 - 21:00 | Virtual
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.
Hilary 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.
England 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?

Disco Inferno!, Part I
2025-09-11 19:30 - 2025-09-18 21:00 | Virtual (Zoom)
Class Schedule: September 11, 16, & 18, 2025 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM
Dance 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.

Part 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!

Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.
