The Zimmerli is open Wednesday through Sunday,

ART TOGETHER IN PERSON

 

 

Sunday, March 13 / 1 to 3 pm

 

Art Together is the Zimmerli's FREE drop-in family art workshop series. Each month, join us for a new project inspired by a work on view in the museum and spend some quality creative time together. Get all the details here!

Colors, Codes, & Visual Poetry, this month's project, is inspired by Florian Yuriev, a Ukrainian artist, architect, composer and critic. In the late 1950s, he developed a mode of expression he called colorwriting, examples of which can be seen in our exhibition Painting in Excess: Kyiv's Art Revival, 1985-1993.

Whether you consider yourself a poet, an artist, or someone curious about secret messages, families are invited to code text of their choosing through color, form, and paint. 

Please Note: Capacity is limited due to COVID-19 protocols. Groups may be asked to wait if the room is at capacity. Masks must be worn at all times.

ARTISTS FACING STATE REPRESSION

VIRTUAL

Panelists:

Free and open to the public. Register on Zoom.

2022 WOODRUFF-MATSUO PROGRAM

JENNIFER MACK-WATKINS: MOKUHANGA & ME
IN PERSON

 

 

Thursday, March 24 / 4 to 7 pm

 

The Zimmerli welcomes artist Jennifer Mack-Watkins, whose work powerfully blends Japanese woodblock printing techniques, known as mokuhanga, and her culturally rich southern roots. Her work investigates societal constructs that can leave women feeling isolated and definitions of femininity based on widely held notions of beauty and cultural norms. 

4pm: Artist Talk
5pm: Reception and Morse Print Room Open for Viewing
6pm: Mokuhanga Demonstration


In the summer of 2015, Mack-Watkins was selected to participate in the Mokuhanga Innovation Laboratory artist-in-residence program in Yamanashi, Japan. 

Three prints by Mack-Watkins were acquired by the Zimmerli in 2021 and are on view in the museum lobby beginning March 23.

Free and open to the public. Register on Eventbrite.

This program is made possible by the Woodruff-Matsuo Lecture Series Fund.

Please Note: All attendees are required to show proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test, accompanied by photo ID or Rutgers My Campus Pass. Please review the complete details on our Health & Safety page.

SUMMER ART CAMP RETURNS IN PERSON!

 

 

June 27 - July 29 / Morning, Afternoon, or Full-Day Sessions

MUSIC INSPIRED BY...

 

On March 16, Princeton University Concerts presents Benjamin Beilman (violin) and Roman Rabinovich (piano). The evening's program is centered on the composition Demons (2018) by Frederic Rzewski. It was written for Beilman and dedicated to Angela Davis, a demonstration of her far-reaching inspiration to artists across mediums. Please Note: This is not a Zimmerli event. Please visit Princeton University Concerts for complete details.

This past December, members of the New Brunswick Chamber Orchestra gathered at the museum to record music in the galleries. NBCO's Mark Hyczko and the Zimmerli's Amanda Potter introduce the music and art featured in the series “Subversives: Revolutionaries in Art and Music,” which explores artists and composers who went against the grain. Watch episodes on the NBCO YouTube channel. Then visit NBCO.org to sign up to receive "Subversives" weekly in your inbox!
