📣 Submissions are now open for our Annual Member Exhibition!
Monmouth Arts invites the creative community of Monmouth County to submit works exploring the theme of FEAST as part of our annual member exhibition. This year’s exhibit will be held at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank, September 4 – November 2, with an opening reception on Friday, September 11. The deadline to submit is July 27.
With FEAST we ask artists to explore the aesthetics and implications of abundance, desire, and consumption. Inspired by the rich visual language of historical still life painting — decadent tables, ornate objects, and symbols of status — the exhibition invites artists to reinterpret these traditions through a modern lens.
We seek work that examines themes of indulgence, consumer culture, ritual, identity, appetite, inequality, pleasure, and longing. Artists are encouraged to consider both literal and metaphorical forms of consumption: what we crave, what we value, and what shapes our relationship to material and symbolic abundance.
This call for art welcomes diverse perspectives and mediums including painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, textile, and photography.
FEAST will be guest curated by Tova Navarra, an award-winning artist, writer, educator, and author of more than 30 books, including New Jersey Artists Through Time.
The Monmouth Arts annual member exhibit — now in its ninth year — is named in honor of Dr. Charles Sills, a painter, sculptor, collector, and longtime supporter of the arts in Monmouth County.
