  • Artivism

    As a universal language, the arts have always been an effective tool for addressing social issues. Artivism or “activist art” is a form of social protest that explores cultural and political concerns. However, it is much more than just an innovative tactic, Artivism involves an entire practice that attempts to inspire positive change in society. This juried exhibition features works of art that employ spectacle, symbolism and collective participation to fight for issues of social justice including racial discrimination, gender equality, fair labor practices, human rights and more.

  • Art + Autism

    This juried exhibition will showcase the talents and abilities of artists living with Autism Spectrum Disorder and continue the conversation about the unique power of art in the autism community. Select pieces of work will be for sale and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Autism Program Improvement Project at Monmouth University’s School of Education.

    Following the artist reception on August 8 at 7 PM, there will be a screening of the National Theatre of London’s critically acclaimed production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in the Pollak Theatre. The play, which won 7 Olivier and 5 Tony Awards®, concerns a mystery surrounding the death of a neighbor’s dog that is investigated by young Christopher Boone, who has autism spectrum disorder, and his relationships with his parents and school mentor.
