Exhibit Visual Messages: Socially Engaged Art
2024-10-08 18:00 - 2024-11-22 17:00 | DE
The latest gallery installment at the Newark Arts Alliance ‘Visual Messages: Socially Engaged Art’, asks us to consider: how do we engage artistically with the world and our community?
This thought-provoking exhibit features 45 pieces from 25 different local artists depicting a wide variety of topics including the environment, homelessness, politics, world peace, and health. Media types range from traditional painting styles and materials to book constructions, paper assemblages, collage, stained glass, fabric, and beading with messages.
The guest Juror for this exhibition was Vanesa Simon. Vanesa is an entrepreneur, artist, and dedicated community organizer. Her personal experience with a cancer diagnosis led her to explore the intersection of the arts and health. In 2017, she piloted the program “Healing Through the Arts” and later innovated a fiscal partnership with the Delaware Art Museum through her company, Mariposa Arts.
As an artist, Vanesa’s work has reached an international audience. She has participated in exhibitions across Argentina, Barcelona, and New York City as part of an artist collective from Argentina whose focus is Artist’s Books. Her art has also been showcased in local exhibitions in her home state of Delaware. In 2024 she was selected as a Global South Arts & Health Envoy and has had the great honor of being nominated by President Joe Biden to the National Council on the Arts.

Do you have a body of work that would fill a space and has a consistent theme? The Gallery committee is seeking proposals for the 2025 exhibition schedule.
Individuals or groups of artists may submit a proposal for a show in the main gallery some time in 2025. Groups of artists should have artwork with a similar theme to create a cohesive show.
Strong proposals will have a well thought out theme that is consistent for the body of work and not a sampling of many styles and mediums that an artist has created. At least 10 high quality images are also required for the proposal so the committee can get a clear idea of the quality of the work.
An application fee of $15 for NAA members and $25 for non-members is required for submission, payment mailed in or brought to NAA. If your exhibit is scheduled, an additional fee of $85 is required by Dec.1.
Deadline to submit proposals is October 1, 2024, Artists will be notified via email by November 1, 2024. See link to application below.
Submit application and images to: Attn: Denise Van Deroef at gallery@newarkartsalliance.org
