See over 60 works
from New Jersey artists that explore past and present themes of
family, community, and belonging, in relation to identity,
diversity, and inclusion. Conceptually and stylistically diverse,
these works in multiple mediums embody exceptional craftsmanship,
inspire creativity, and entice the viewer to take a closer look.

A new monumental
work is coming to Laurie Art Stairway. Throughout her career,
Nanette Carter has used the language of abstraction—shape, line,
color, and texture—to reflect the world around her through large
Mylar collages. The work coming to MAM reinterprets one of her
earlier collages and transforms it into a vibrant and striking
mural.
