What Does It Mean To Be An American:
Daniel Robert Horne

January 19 - May 22, 2026

Opening Reception: Thursday, January 29, 2026 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.

The exhibition What Does It Mean to Be an American brings together Daniel Robert Horne’s portraits of explorers, thinkers, activists, and everyday people, reminding us that the American identity is not defined by a single figure or moment, but by a diverse mosaic of stories. From frontier pioneers and revolutionary leaders to abolitionists, cultural trailblazers, and modern citizens, each portrait reflects a different facet of the nation’s evolving character. Together, these works invite viewers to consider how courage, resilience, creativity, and hope shape the ongoing story of America, and how individuals from every walk of life contribute to its meaning.

Camp Boardwalk:
Atlantic City during World War II

January 10 - March 29, 2026

Opening Reception: January 10, 2026  1:00 - 3:00 PM

During WWII, Atlantic City, NJ became an essential part of the war effort, earning it the nickname “Camp Boardwalk.” The Army converted major hotels into a military training and redistribution area and established the Thomas M. England General Hospital, a recovery and rehabilitation center for injured soldiers. The community mobilized its resources for Civilian Defense, calling on local men and women to be air raid wardens and airplane spotters. Women volunteered for the USO and the Red Cross, joined the military and worked as nurses. African American men and women served in the military, worked in the defense industry and volunteered on the home front. This exhibit showcases the wartime narrative of Atlantic City, connecting the stories of the men and women who trained, worked, recovered and volunteered there. 

Curated by Dr. Patricia Chappine, in collaboration with the Atlantic City Free Public Library, Millville Army Air Field Museum, Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center, Atlantic County Historical Society, and the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey.
