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. 

Waiting for Palms: Peter Ydeen

June 9 - September 18, 2026

Opening Reception: June 18, 2026, 5:00 - 6:30 PM 

Waiting for Palms is a series of urban landscape photographs taken in Morocco and Egypt, which explores where the quiet traces of tradition intersect with the turbulence of modern expansion. The images linger on the everyday, set within monumental landscapes and constructed from an accumulation of small, unheroic moments. Together, they form a tapestry of worlds that are immediate and enigmatic, intimate yet always elusive, creating an experience of perpetual interpretation.

Noe Jacito Hernadez

October 29 – December 19, 2025

Noé Jacinto is a Mexican painter born in the coastal region of Oaxaca, that southern state which has been the cradle of great masters of the visual arts, music, and handicrafts—a people of countless artistic virtues. Noé Jacinto continues this legacy. His art reveals the power of the tropics and its many facets. In his large color-rich paintings, we find the typical flora and fauna of the vast geography he comes from: owls, pelicans, hummingbirds, crabs, and more—though, of course, he is not limited to these. He has managed to depict these and many other elements in a distinctive way, turning them into snapshots where characters, animals, and objects acquire their own language and atmosphere.

Closing Reception: June 13, 2026, 2:00 - 3:30 PM

Sayreville War Memorial High School presents the "Clay in Mind - Student Competition & Exhibition". The Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University is exhibiting twenty final winning pieces, carefully selected by a jury. Student winners, along with their family and friends, are invited to the closing reception. Students will take their clay artwork home at the end of the reception. 

Clay in Mind is a juried exhibition of outstanding three-dimensional ceramic artworks, functional and non-functional, created by high school students throughout New Jersey. This is Clay in Mind's 20th competition. The exhibit was designed to give a venue to high school students' ceramic artworks and to promote professional development in the medium for teachers and students. 

Annually, each school may enter artworks, either functional or non-functional, whose primary medium is clay. The works must be original in concept and executed solely by the student. The blind jurying is held at Sayreville War Memorial High School. Teachers and their students participate in a variety of clay related activities while awaiting the judge's decision. A total of 20 pieces were selected by the judge and moved on to a gallery for public display and a closing ceremony.

“Painting people has always been my favorite subject. Through portraiture, I strive to reveal how a person’s behaviors, experiences, and spirit can be reflected visually. I work with a variety of media on wood, allowing the surface itself to influence the outcome. My process is both chaotic and calming. I merge memories with reference materials such as books and music, creating a dialogue between intuition and structure. The work unfolds through a cycle of adding and removing, I paint, scrape away, and then apply more paint, repeating this rhythm for hours. Once the image emerges, I refine it with a fine brush, delicately layering details to bring the portrait to life.”
