  • Sly and the Family Stone, There’s a Riot Goin’ On

    The Great Hall Auditorium/Virtual 400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch, NJ, United States

    It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology, the way we consume music through our devices, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss. This event will feature Sly and the Family Stone, There’s a Riot Goin’ On.

    Free and open to the public, but RSVP is required.

  • The Night Sea Journey – An Artist Talk by Associate Professor Kimberly Callas

    The Great Hall Auditorium/Virtual 400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch, NJ, United States

    Associate Professor Kimberly Callas will give an artist talk on the artwork she created during a two-year Monmouth Fellowship, where she served as the artist-in-residence for the Urban Coast Institute. During the fellowship, Callas created a series of large-scale (10') drawings that connect images of the ocean, ocean archetypes, and the human body. Inspired by historical nautical charts hand-drawn and mounted on muslin, Callas' drawings are made of graphite, dye, and India ink on paper and dyed muslin. They are then mounted on canvas. In the drawings, Callas uses latitude, longitude lines, and depth charts to 'specifically place' the work in places that follow the Right Whales' annual migration through the Jersey Shore. The drawings include symbols like the Whale, Fish, Boat, Net, and Horizon Line, and archetypes like 'the night sea journey,' a journey navigated by stars to a new shore.

    Free and open to the public.
