Thank you to all who stopped by to cheer on our ribbon-cutting at GR's Municipal Pool on Sat. morning, June 20! The three murals are Glen Rock public art, now officially part of our legacy! "TAPinto" provided some nice coverage, with photos by Simon Toffell.

Look who's having a solo exhibition! All month, but the big opening reception is this Thursday evening. Guess what? YOU'RE invited! Good Luck, Jim Nonas!

Coming in June! Reward your curiosity and step into a world where nothing is as it first appears.

Join us for the opening reception of Jim Nonas’ latest collection of original collage works—an immersive showcase built from fragments of everyday life, transformed into richly layered landscapes, cityscapes, and imagined scenes.

From a distance, each piece feels familiar. Up close, a different story unfolds. Hundreds of carefully placed clippings—textures, colors, and hidden details—come together to create compositions that reward curiosity and invite a second look.

This special exhibition features original works, offering a rare opportunity to experience Nonas’ process and precision beyond print.

Meet the artist, explore the collection, and discover how discarded pieces of the past can be reassembled into something entirely new.

🗓 Opening Reception: Thursday June 11th 6-9 PM
📍 Location: Hackensack Preforming Arts Center 102 State Street Hackensack NJ

Jim Nonas is a self-taught artist who uses magazines as his color palette, meticulously hand-cutting small pieces to create striking large-scale images. Each piece is crafted on stretched canvas and sealed with a UV-resistant varnish for lasting vibrancy.
Jim’s unique collage work has gained international recognition. He is currently contracted with Wentworth Puzzle Company in the UK and Giallobus in Italy to create exclusive wall art collections by the end of the year.
Based in New Jersey, Jim regularly exhibits his work in local venues and leads creative workshops through community art clubs. His talent has been recognized with multiple awards, including honors from Bergen County Art in the Park and Focus New Jersey. He was also featured in the April 2019 issue of Northwest Bergen Lifestyles Magazine.
