Monmouth Arts, in partnership with The Caroline Huber Wellness Center at Brookdale Community College, recently welcomed visitors to Human Thread: The Art of Compassion & Courage, an exhibition celebrating two of the College's guiding values: compassion and courage.

The opening reception brought together students, faculty, staff, artists, and community members for an inspiring evening of reflection, conversation, and connection, highlighting the transformative power of art.

The exhibition remains on view through August 10 at The Caroline Huber Wellness Center, weekdays from 8:30 AM–4:30 PM. Visitors are encouraged to experience the collection firsthand and explore how the featured artists interpret compassion and courage through their work—reminding us that empathy, resilience, and creativity are among our most powerful tools for building a stronger community.

⭐️ Bring on the Funk: Where the Arts Get Down Honoree Highlight ⭐️

Leading up to our annual gala, we’re spotlighting this year’s honorees — this week, we introduce you to Nicole Atkins.

Nicole Atkins is a singer songwriter who Bruce Springsteen once said possesses “a truly singular voice.” Think Roy Orbison's "Cryin' if he was a woman. The orchestral sweep of the wall of sound, the bleak vision of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen; the darkly mysterious girl group-on-acid musings of Julee Cruise and Lynch composer Angelo Badalamenti; the sorrow of Patsy Cline, the rock-a-ballads punk of The Pretenders and the '60s psychedelia of Love and Nuggets. All with a redeeming sense of hope amidst the emotional wreckage.

She most recently opened for Stevie Nicks on her latest arena tour as well as headlining a series of residency shows in Nashville.

There she just finished recording her new album “Drama” with producer Pat Sansone of Wilco. Featuring members of her band, Dr. Dog and the Texas Gentlemen, it will be released this fall on Chris Isaak’s new imprint, Wicked Game via the legendary Sun Records.

Join us in celebrating Nicole Atkins at our annual gala on October 29 at Asbury Lanes ✨

Don't miss the upcoming opening of our next artist exhibit at ArtSpace, "The Sun, My Heart," by Summer Deaver!

Deaver’s collection explores the unity of opposites through contemplative mark-making, oil painting, and hand-burnished printmaking. Rooted in themes of interconnection and transformation, “The Sun, My Heart” invites viewers to witness how light and shadow, stillness and movement, self and other are never truly separate.
