  • 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.

  • Exhibition on Screen – John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger

    John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion.

    Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio.

    Step into the glittering world of fashion, scandal and shameless self-promotion that made John Singer Sargent the painter who defined an era.

     

  • Exhibition on Screen – Tokyo Stories

    Based on a major exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford, Tokyo Stories spans 400 years of incredibly dynamic art – ranging from the delicate woodblock prints of Hokusai and Hiroshige, to Pop Art posters, contemporary photography, Manga, film, and brand-new artworks that were created on the streets. The film uses the exhibition as a launchpad to travel to Tokyo itself, exploring the art and artists of the city more fully, and telling the stories of the people who have made Tokyo famous for its boundless drive for the new and innovative.

    A beautifully illustrated and richly detailed film, looking at a city which has undergone constant destruction and renewal over its 400-year history, resulting in one of the most vibrant and interesting cities on the planet…

    Tokyo has a powerful engine that just doesn’t stop. There is an
    energy, a particular floating power in Tokyo. Whatever happens, this
    city gets rebuilt again and continues to move forwards.”
    – Machida Kumi
