Regardless of their disabilities\, artists are provided with the tools and materials needed to produce complete pieces of work that are distinctly their own. \nOn a daily basis\, Arts Access fosters an environment of artistic creativity among the participating artists. The program improves the quality of life for the artists and those around them. In addition\, Arts Access programing aids in changing the perception about the capabilities and talents of people with developmental disabilities. \nThe artwork created by the artists in the Arts Access Program clearly demonstrates the creativity\, talent\, and abilities of artists with disabilities. \nArts Access is a nurturing environment for self-expression\, providing opportunities for artists to create\, perform\, exhibit\, and sell their work. The program is a vehicle through which individuals with disabilities can have their ideas\, imagination\, and creativity come to life. \nExhibiting Artists: Cheryl Chapin\, Chet Cheesman\, Michael Cornely\, Philip Fisher\, Karen Frascella\, Bari Kim Goldrosen\, Tammy Heppner\, Misty Hockenbury\, Ellen Kane\, James Lane\, Lee Papierowicz\, Paul Santo\, Nancy Soto\, Isabell Villacis\, Anthony Zaccaria \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n \n Click here to learn more about The Arts Access Program URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/counterpoint/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Misty-Hockenbury_My-Color-Wedding.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240119T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240317T140000 DTSTAMP:20260417T002446 CREATED:20231212T163026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250103T203254Z UID:10000059-1705665600-1710684000@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:2024 International Juried Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, January 26\, 2024 from 6-8pm \nJuror: Hunter O’HanianClick Here to Read Hunter O’Hanian’s Juror Statement \n  \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n 1\n2\n3\n► \n \nExhibiting Artists: Hilary Houston Bachelder\, Douglas Barrett\, Alyson J Barton\, Pamela Becker\, Bette Blank\, Raymond Bonavida\, Jamaal Bonnette\, Maryann Burton\, Yixuan Cai\, A.

Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Sauerteig-Pilaar focuses on the female form as her muse\, mostly conjured from self-portraits\, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life\, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. \nSauerteig-Pilaar received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993\, and after living in New York City\, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums that led to the eclectic mixed media paper constructions she is most notably recognized for. Her work has been showcased and celebrated in galleries and museums across the country. She was awarded the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation residency in Jersey City\, NJ in 2022. \nClick Here to Read Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar’s Artist Statement URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/christine-sauerteig-pilaar-to-bare-witness/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/P-Tina-1-by-Christine-Sauerteig-Pilaar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240614T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240915T140000 DTSTAMP:20260417T002446 CREATED:20240524T175624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240905T201145Z UID:10000105-1718388000-1726408800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:2024 Members' Non-Juried Exhibition & Sale DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening: Friday\, June 14 from 6-8pm \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n 1\n2\n...\n8\n► \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Participating Artists: Divya Ananth\, Claudia Antal\, Jennifer Evans Arbo\, Vimala Arunachalam\, Doris Aufschlager\, Rita Auld\, Jean Bartholomew\, William Beam\, Oscar Beck\, Grace Bernhardt\, Jagdish Bhavsar\, Cecilia Blas\, Sean Blinn\, Mariette Boerstoel\, Kaileen Campbell\, Andrea Carroll\, Jessica Cavaliere\, Larry Chestnut\, Casey Collins\, Robyn Cunningham\, Eva Deffenbaugh\, Tracy DiTolla\, Dan Dolce\, Eleanor Eick\, Steven Epstein\, Carolyn Evans\, Karen Fadool\, Travis Fine\, Joan Foley\, Holli Freed\, Sandy Furst\, Linda Gallo\, Meeta Garg\, Roxana Gheorghe\, Fran Hargadon\, Alison Hooper\, Heather Hudson\, Patrick Huffman\, Carol Hutchinson\, Victoria Jeffers\, Aarti Kamboj\, Nancy Modlin Katz\, Hilary Klimek\, Rita Koch\, Sandra Kosinski\, David LaMorte\, Linda Laustsen\, Judith Lieberman\, Lisl Maloney\, Zig Mantell\, Thomas Martin\, Donna Maselli\, Thomas McGrory\, Shourabh Mukherji\, Anuranjini (Anu) Nigam\, Ida Ochoteco\, Rosemary O’Rourke\, Ann Parsekian\, Kasia Lynn Pasterkiewicz\, John Piccoli\, Bermuda Pierre\, Jess Pitera\, DeAnn Prosia\, Larry Quirk\, Anita Rachel\, Lucia Ravens\, Bob Ricciotti\, Louise Cullen Robinson\, Elaine Rosenberg\, Susan Rupert\, Andrea K.

Wonderfully uncanny\, murmurations are a warp and weft of singularity and collectivity\, each individual bird shaping the flock through a subtle attunement to adjacent birds that creates a synergistic whole. \nThis exhibition features the art of Co11ective\, a group formed in 2020 and made up of eight artists from New Jersey\, New York\, and Aruba who work across a broad range of media and styles including sculpture\, painting\, drawing\, photography\, creative writing\, video\, installation\, and interdisciplinary work. As a group of artists\, we consider what the phenomenon of murmuration can teach us about collaboration: How can we make a body of work that is both greater than the sum of its parts and true to our individual practice?

A former Home Economics teacher\, she has worked with batik and weaving which evolved into folk art quilts and a love of the modern art quilt movement. \nIn the late 90’s\, her work centered on abstract expressionism using dyed natural material and surface design\, creating gentle tonal contrasts and layers that interact with each other. Her method of direct cutting\, without the use of patterns\, was innovative at that time. Her work continues to evolve through experimentation. \nSince the early 2000s\, her work includes photography\, printed\, or transferred onto fabric\, paper or created and mixed media substrates. \nShe has created several innovative digital fiber techniques. Holographic Images presents multiple layered pieces of photographs printed on silk organza and borders of painted and surface designed fabrics. These pieces create a 3-D effect that moves as the viewer changes positions. \nWen continues to investigate the digital world\, but also imaginative presentations that add to the pioneering exploration of her media and give her work edge. \nShe splits her time from her home studio in New Hampshire and part time in North Carolina. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to read Wen Redmond’s Artist Statement. \n  URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/wen-redmond-musings-memory-and-magic/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Spring Solo Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/To-Make-Wonder-Again-300-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260417T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260607T140000 DTSTAMP:20260417T002446 CREATED:20260317T185513Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260407T133928Z UID:10000241-1776448800-1780840800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Oxana Kovalchuk: Turning Point DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: April 17\, 2026 from 6-8pm \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOxana Kovalchuk is a New York–based visual artist born in Kazakhstan who earned her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2019.
