SUMMARY:Artist as Activist
DESCRIPTION:Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum\nPresents\nARTIST AS ACTIVIST\nthe New Jersey State Council on the Arts\n2025 ARTS ANNUAL ARTISTS \nGLASSBORO\, NJ – Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum is excited to announce the participating artists who will be included in the 2025 New Jersey Arts Annual for Fine Art\, presented in partnership with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts\, opening Saturday\, June 7th\, 2025\, 4 -7 pm. \nOur esteemed jurors\, Brittany Webb\, Evelyn and Will Kaplan Curator of 20th Century Art and the John Rhoden Collection\, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)\, and Dejay Duckett\, Director of Curatorial Services\, African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) selected artists from over 300 entries and include:\nCatherine Allen\, ShinYoung An\, Ellis Angel\, Donna Bassin\, Kristian Battell\,\nKirstin Demer\, Laura Frazure\, Ellen Hanauer\, Sam Horowitz\, Christopher Lopez\, Chanika Svetvilas\, Hui Tian\, Ylvia Asal\, Michael DalCerro\, Adam Gustavson\,\nTony Khawam\, Krystle Lemonias\, Jazlyne Sabree\, and Alan Willoughby\, \nArtist as Activist presents work that are artistic responses to the concept of activism. The selected artists use their creative practices to challenge societal norms\, raise awareness\, and inspire audiences to engage critically with the world around them.\nThe works address a broad spectrum of urgent topics—including human rights\, environmental stewardship\, racial equity\, health and well-being\, and political engagement. \nRather than employing overt or reactionary tactics\, these artists adopt a more nuanced approach. Their work invites viewers to engage with complex issues on their own terms\, promoting personal reflection and dialogue rather than prescribing a singular viewpoint.\nSome artists employ humor to disarm and draw in the viewer\, while others use ambiguity or conceptual forms to allow multiple interpretations. Scale is also used deliberately\, amplifying the urgency of the challenges we face collectively.\nUltimately\, this exhibition presents art as a vehicle for advocacy—illuminating injustices\, proposing alternatives\, and envisioning change. Through emotion\, experience\, and truth\, these artists seek to cultivate empathy\, spark conversation\, and inspire action. \nThe New Jersey Arts Annual is a unique series of exhibitions highlighting the State’s visual and performing artists. In partnership with major museums around the state\, one exhibition takes place each year\, alternating between host institutions. These exhibitions are open to any artist currently living or working in New Jersey. The Arts Annual series is sponsored by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts\, a partner agency of the National Endowment of the Arts. Since 1984\, the New Jersey State Arts Council has co-sponsored the prestigious Annual in keeping with its mission to encourage and foster public interest in the arts\, promote freedom of expression in the arts\, and to facilitate the inclusion of art in every building in New Jersey.
