    An established printmaker and painter, New Jersey native Anthony Migliaccio has been exhibiting his work since the 1970’s. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education in 1970 and began his career as a high school art teacher, an experience that fueled his desire to become a professional artist.

In the 1980’s Migliaccio taught printmaking at Monmouth University.  In the early nineties he transitioned from printmaking to painting, while continuing his career in education as an art administrator in NJ public schools. Today his paintings and prints are in collections internationally, and his painting excursions have taken him to scenic locations throughout the world. In addition to numerous solo exhibits, he has received several awards for his paintings. Some notable personal achievements include Who’s Who in American Art, Signature Artist Member at the Noyes Museum, NJ, and Signature Artist Member of the Plein Air Painters of the Jersey Coast. Migliaccio has been recognized several times for his contributions to the arts including a NJ State Senate Citation. His work has been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Salmagundi Club, NYC, the National Arts Club, NYC, the EPA offices, Washington D.C., the Noyes Museum, NJ (including a solo show), and several galleries, colleges and universities throughout the tri-state area. Since retiring from public education in 2008, Migliaccio paints full time and travels extensively.

  • Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey

    Rechnitz Hall’s DiMattio Gallery, 1st Floor
    Opening Reception: Sun September 27, 1-4pm
    The opening reception  will include a Q&A with the photographers moderated by Grammy Museum executive director Bob Santelli at 2:30 PM.
    Free and open to the public

    Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey, a traveling photography exhibition curated by the GRAMMY Museum Los Angeles, features 45 iconic images of Bruce Springsteen. The exhibit serves to document a great American music legend, and will feature photos taken by noted Springsteen photographers Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Pamela Springsteen and Frank Stefanko.

    “Our goal with this exhibition is to define the career of Bruce Springsteen in an entirely new light, as captured by these five incredible photographers,” said GRAMMY Museum executive director Bob Santelli. “Each of these photographers was able to artfully document Bruce’s world, at different stages in his career. We are honored to partner with each of them in order to help tell the story of one of the most important figures in American music.”

    Bruce Springsteen’s recording career spans more than forty years, beginning with 1973’s Columbia Records release Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ. He has released 18 studio albums, garnered 20 GRAMMY Awards, won an Oscar, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was a 2009 recipient of Kennedy Center Honors and was named 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year by The Recording Academy. Springsteen’s newest album High Hopes (Columbia) was released on January 14, 2014.

    While the majority of the exhibit focuses on Springsteen off-stage, four additional live performance photographs, shot by Barry Schneier, will be showcased. These photos were shot during the now famous Springsteen concert at Harvard Square Theater where famed Rolling Stone music journalist Jon Landau claimed, “I have seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.”

    Additionally, the exhibit will feature video interviews with each of the photographers, produced by the GRAMMY Museum.
