2009-2010 EXHIBITS

For the 2009-2010 season Paper Mill Playhouse is proud to partner with The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey. The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey will provide an exhibit for each of Paper Mill's five main-stage productions, each in a different medium.

The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey was founded as the Summit Art Association in 1933 by seven local artists who hoped to foster the appreciation, enjoyment, and practice of art. Today, after a $6 million renovation and expansion completed in the summer of 2005, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey is recognized statewide for its high quality arts education and exhibition programs.

The non-profit Art Center is a nine studio art school with three interior galleries and an outdoor exhibition space (Art Park). The Art Center is the largest of the state's regional art centers devoted exclusively to contemporary art through studio classes, workshops, special programs, and exhibitions.

  • Little House on the Prairie the Musical - printmaking
  • On The Town - contemporary pastel/ acrylic & collage
  • Lost In Yonkers - landscapes
  • Smokey Joe's - oil painting
  • Peter Pan - photography

The Renee Foosaner Art Gallery is open one hour prior to performances and during intermission. Admission to the exhibit is free.

To coincide with the main stage production of The Miracle Worker, The Renee Foosaner Art Gallery, located on the mezzanine level of the theatre, continues its series of distinguished art displays with The Matheny Medical and Educational Center's Arts Access Program.

An alternative arts program for individuals with disabilities, the Matheny Medical and Educational Center's Arts Access Program offers opportunities for unlimited self-expression in the visual, literary and performing arts. Professional artists are trained as facilitators to assist artists with disabilities in their creative pursuits while remaining neutral in the creative process. The process is entirely directed by the disabled individual - the final creative expression is completely their own. Through this unique methodology, the world of artists with disabilities, like that of all other artists, becomes unlimited and rich with creative and expressive possibilities.
