  • Seen & Unseen, Charles Sills’ Memorial Group Art Exhibit

    On View: November 1 – December 10, 2025
    Opening Reception: November 7, 6-8pm
    Gallery Hours: 9am-7pm | Monday-Friday, 10am-4pm | Saturday & Sunday
    In illuminating what has been hidden—by history, by progress, or by the limits of perception—Seen & Unseen seeks to reclaim and reframe the narratives that shape our cultural and emotional landscapes. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, the exhibition invites both artists and audiences to consider: What do we overlook in our daily lives? What deserves to be remembered? And how do the spaces we inhabit reflect the spaces within us?
    Seen & Unseen is guest curated by Vaune Peck, founding Director of Monmouth University’s Center for the Arts. For three decades, Peck has led the Center’s comprehensive programming in the performing and visual arts, bringing a dynamic range of cultural experiences to the community. The gallery exhibition showcases the works of 25 members of Monmouth Arts for the organization’s Charles Sills’ Memorial Group Art Exhibit, which is held in various galleries throughout Monmouth County.
    Participating Artists: Marilyn Baldi, Richard Berger, Patricia Butynski, Kimberly Callas
