Nilson Gallery, Meeting Room & Patio
The newest addition to the Monmouth Museum is the Nilson Gallery and Tower. The second floor of the Tower houses our administrative offices. The 400 square foot Nilson Gallery offers beautiful exhibition space with large windowed views of the Brookdale campus and its adjoining stone patio is nestled in a lovely wooded scene. The Nilson Gallery can be rented for corporate or private meetings.

The NJ Emerging Artist Series - SIX One-Person Shows
Over 50 artists responded to our Call for Entries for our series of six, one-person exhibits for emerging NJ artists in a wide variety of media. The Emerging Artist Series began in July 2007 with the first of three month-long exhibitions. Six artists working in a variety of media were selected by a panel of ten jurors. Philip Carroll of Haddonfield exhibited oil paintings (July 6 - August 5, 2007). Paul Lenz of Colts Neck exhibited photographs (August 10 - September 9, 2007). Pat Brentano of Westfield exhibited charcoal and pastel drawings (September 14 - October 14, 2007).
The second half of the series will begin in March 2008, with works in handmade paper by Marie Sturken of Princeton (March 22 - April 20, 2008); watercolors by Michalyn Tarantino of West Windsor (April 25 - May 25, 2008); and mobiles by Gustav Rosenlof of Hillsdale will be on display (May 30 - June 29, 2008).

A series of Gallery Talks are planned for each artist. Watch for updated information about dates and times.
