Murphy Dear Friends, On behalf of the State of New Jersey, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome to all those gathered for Newark Museum’s annual Legacy Gala. Being home to extensive art and natural science collections that have entertained and educated visitors for more than 100 years, the Newark Museum has been an integral part of New Jersey’s historical and cultural landscape. With an impressive array of educational programs for children, adults, and families, the Museum has proven to be a true asset to New Jersey. I commend the Museum’s trustees, staff, and supporters for their commitment to providing visitors with high-quality exhibits of art, science, and history. I am proud to join the Museum in recognizing tonight’s honorees: Mark B. Grier, John Schreiber, and American Express. Their contributions to the Museum and its mission have had a significant impact on the success of this valuable institution. Best wishes for an enjoyable and successful event. My very best, Philip D. Murphy Governor A Message from the Gala Committee Leadership Dear Friends, We welcome you to the 2019 Newark Museum Legacy Gala. Tonight we honor three of the Museum’s greatest friends and supporters: Mark B. Grier, Vice Chairman and Board Member of Prudential Financial, Inc.; John Schreiber, President and CEO of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center; and American Express, one of our valuable corporate partners. These honorees share a commitment to advancing the arts throughout the New York/New Jersey region and to broadening and diversifying arts participation. Their vital support for the Newark Museum has helped ensure that visitors continue to enjoy world-class art and science exhibitions, collections and programs. Mark Grier has served as both an esteemed advisor and generous patron of the Museum for more than 20 years. We honor him tonight for playing such a critical role in making the arts more accessible to the people of Newark, including here at the Museum and at the Newark School of the Arts. John Schreiber’s commitment to excellent and diverse programming, as well as arts education that addresses community needs, has made NJPAC one the foremost arts centers in the country. We salute his exemplary leadership at NJPAC, as well as his advocacy efforts to ensure the vitality and sustainability of the entire arts community in New Jersey. We are recognizing American Express for its work to promote diversity and inclusion in workplaces across the country. The Newark Museum has strengthened its ability to recruit and retain diverse staff members across all levels of the organization, and thereby improved its ability to serve diverse communities, thanks to pro-bono consulting assistance and grant support from American Express. Founded on the beliefs that art can be found everywhere in the world and that museums are for everyone, the Newark Museum has long championed the principles of diversity and inclusion. Today, the Museum’s distinguished global art collections, innovative exhibitions, and engaging educational programming continue to reflect a deep institutional commitment to diversity and to cross-cultural learning. Thank you for joining us tonight as we celebrate this evening’s outstanding honorees. Natalie B. and Obie L. McKenzie Gala Co-Chairs Sara Bonesteel Chief Investment Officer, Retirement and Group Insurance Prudential Financial, Inc. Gala Co-Chair Allen J. Karp Executive Vice President, Healthcare Management and Health Analytics Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey Gala Co-Chair A Message from the Mayor The Honorable Ras J. Baraka Dear Friends of the Newark Museum: On behalf of the people of Newark, I would like to extend my best wishes to everyone attending tonight’s Newark Museum Legacy Gala. The Newark Museum’s theme for this year’s gala is “Diversity,” and the four major exhibitions it is highlighting speak to that mission: an exhibition on birdwatching; “Seeing America: 20th and 21st Century,” which reimagines its galleries of modern and contemporary American art to expand its range of visions; “Skywriters and Constellations,” which unites artistic and scientific views of the galaxy; and “Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth,” which displays 40 works by Red Star, a leading artist from the Crow tribe. We are awed by these brilliant and unique exhibitions on their own, but hold even greater admiration for members of the Newark Museum team that work together to achieve this harmonious whole. This year the Newark Museum will award its Medal for Meritorious Community Service to John Schreiber, President and CEO of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, the Newark Museum Commemorative Medal Award to American Express, and the Philanthropic Leadership Award to Prudential Financial, Inc. Vice Chairman Mark B. Grier. We salute all of these great honorees for their work to support Newark and the Newark Museum. Congratulations to the Newark Museum––the cultural heart of the City of Newark! Sincerely, Ras J. Baraka Mayor A Message from the Director & CEO Dear Friends, Esteemed Guests and Supporters of the Newark Museum, Welcome to this evening’s Legacy Gala celebrating our 110th year, which is my first! I am delighted to meet so many of you in one place, face to face, and to share with you my excitement about the Newark Museum and the great city of Newark. Visitorship is up, on-line engagement is strong, and the Museum’s dedication to our artistic programming and collections, like our new Seeing America galleries, are being recognized nationally. Thank you for your support of all we do here to enrich the entire New Jersey and New York region. Moving forward we look to emphasize and improve upon the Museum’s successes. With our renowned global collections and unparalleled commitment to educational programming and audience engagement, the Newark Museum is committed to being a leading cultural anchor institution for Newark and the state of New Jersey. Our exhibitions and public programs are designed to be accessible and relevant to audience members of all ages and backgrounds to align with founder John Cotton Dana’s

  • Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years
    Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years by Ron Michael, Curator, Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery Extended Essay - August 2012 Seeking Beauty Henry Varnum Poor is an important name not only for those interested in the history of Kansas or American art, but for Angular detail of Self Portrait, circa those who celebrate bountiful lives. Determined to follow his own 1917, lithograph, size unknown. path, he was committed to a life based on unadorned pursuits and a constant search for beauty. He once wrote to friend and fellow artist Birger Sandzén, “I want to make beautiful things so as to make our living as beautiful as possible.”1 Developing and using his multi-faceted talents, he also lived a life of great variety. At various times in his life he combined one or more professions as an artist, craftsman, builder, writer, teacher, organizer, administrator, evaluator and more. He was the perennial “jack-of-all-trades,” or perhaps more appropriately, a “renaissance man.” Just within the arts he explored a vast array of differing media – oils, watercolors, ceramics, pastels, drawings, frescos, etchings, lithography, woodworking, textiles, and illustration. He seemed to turn everything he touched into art. Perhaps nowhere is this better evident than the house he designed and constructed near New City, New York. Dubbed Crow House it was conceived as a place of comfort for his family – away from, but still accessible to, the bustling metropolis of New York and other Eastern cities. As he continued to write in his letter to Birger Sandzén, “The joy and satisfaction in making the house has been tremendous, and the future work of carving and painting our huge beams and stones will be great.

  • NEWARK LAUNCHES 'SUMMER FUN in the PARK' Free, Fun, Family
    NEWARK LAUNCHES ‘SUMMER FUN IN THE PARK’ Free, fun, family-friendly programs at public parks will celebrate cultural life as the community comes ‘Back Together Again’ Newark, NJ–July 27, 2021— Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Newark City Parks Foundation, Inc., today announced “Summer Fun in the Park,” a vibrant series of free outdoor events that will activate Newark’s public parks, highlight the city’s thriving cultural life, and celebrate the return of in-person gatherings as the community comes “ Back Together Again.” Newark City Parks Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization envisioned by Mayor Baraka and passed by Council resolution to provide maintenance, programming, and advocacy for Newark’s downtown parks. The newly formed Foundation and its Board of Trustees work with partners, stakeholders, residents, and local government to raise funds to maintain the parks and provide programs that bring arts and culture, health and wellness, economic development, and education to public spaces. The Foundation is seeded with $1.2 million from the City of Newark, and a four-year $200,000 commitment from Prudential Financial. Now through early fall, events at Washington Park, Riverfront Park, Lincoln Park, Military Park, and Mulberry Commons will share the breadth of Newark’s cultural energy — outdoors and accessible to all. Watch free movies and theater. Pack a picnic or grab a bite at a food truck. Create art. Celebrate reading. Dance, workout, and stretch. Learn about health and wellness. Connect, relax, and play outside. “We are working hard with our public and private partners to enable our residents to enjoy ‘Summer Fun in the Park,’ which includes exciting activities like concerts, movies, health and wellness events, games, and children’s programming,” Mayor Baraka said.

    The Newark Museum of Art Position Announcement Social Media Freelancer (Temporary) Background: Founded in 1909, The Newark Museum of Art (“the Museum”) is one of the most influential museums in the United States and the largest art and education institution in New Jersey. Its extensive collections, which include art from around the world as well as significant holdings of science, technology and natural history, rank 12th in size nationally. The Museum is dedicated to artistic excellence, education and community engagement with an overarching commitment to broadening and diversifying arts participation. A cultural anchor institution in Newark for more than a century, the Museum advances its mission by operating in the public trust as a museum of service, and as a leader in connecting objects and ideas to the needs and wishes of its constituencies. The Museum’s renowned art collections have the power to educate, inspire and transform individuals of all ages, and the local, regional, national and international communities that it serves. In the words of founder John Cotton Dana, “a good museum attracts, entertains, arouses curiosity, leads to questioning and thus promotes learning.” The Museum responds to the evolving needs and interests of the diverse audiences it serves by providing exhibitions, programming, a research library, partnerships and resources designed to enrich people’s lives. The Museum’s collections are presented in 91 galleries housed on a seven-acre campus that encompasses the Ballantine House, a Victorian-era mansion—a National Historic Landmark, the Dreyfuss Memorial Garden, and Horizon Plaza. The Museum also features the Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium as well as the MakerSPACE, a dedicated maker studio and exhibition space that offers interactive, hands-on activities for visitors all ages that integrate the arts with STEM learning.

  • The Newark Public Library in World War I
    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Winter 2019 101 Propaganda, Censorship, and Book Drives: The Newark Public Library in World War I By George Robb DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v5i1.150 This article examines the activities of the Newark Public Library during World War I as a means of highlighting the significant role American libraries played in promoting the nation’s war effort. During the war public libraries were usually the most important information centers in their communities. They distributed books, pamphlets, and posters in support of a wide range of government initiatives, they organized war-related exhibits and classes, and they collected vast amounts of reading material for libraries at military camps. Newark’s chief librarians, John Cotton Dana and Beatrice Winser, oversaw many such patriotic initiatives, but they also became involved in more controversial campaigns to employ women librarians at military camps and to resist wartime calls for censorship of unpatriotic literature. In reviewing the activities of the Newark Public Library during World War I, this article highlights the important, but largely forgotten, role American libraries played in sustaining the nation’s war effort. As the first “total war” of the twentieth century, World War I recruited civilians on the home front as actively as it recruited soldiers to fight overseas.1 While historians have written much about civilian initiatives involving women war workers, the Red Cross, victory gardens, and liberty loan drives, libraries’ significant contributions to the war have received little scholarly attention.2 This is surprising, since an important aspect of total war was the control and 1 For studies of the American homefront during World War I, see Christopher Capozzola, Uncle Sam Wants You: World War I and the Making of the Modern Citizen (New York: Oxford University Press, 2008); Celia Malone Kingsbury, For Home and Country: World War I Propaganda on the Homefront (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2010); and David M.

Pony Box Dance Theatre at Disney Hall. Image credit: Tracy Kumono Dance Theatre at Disney Hall. Image credit: Tracy Box Beach, CA. Pony Dance Theatre, Long Box Image courtesy of Pony Executive Summary For the sixth consecutive year, SMU DataArts, the National Center for Arts Research, is pleased to provide the Arts Vibrancy Index Report, which draws upon a set of data-informed indices to recognize arts-vibrant communities across the United States. We acknowledge and honor the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic and recent racial and social justice uprisings have altered U.S. communities in unparalleled ways since 2019, the year that data in this report draws upon. Arts and cultural organizations across the country were forced to close their doors in March 2020 due to COVID-19. Few have reopened and it is still uncertain when the remainder will be able to follow suit as of the publication of this year’s report. Many arts organizations in forced closure have adapted and served their communities’ needs in innovative ways in response to stay-at-home orders, new norms of social distancing, and protests. So why report on arts vibrancy from a pre-pandemic time? At a moment of such considerable environmental hostility and uncertainty about the future, we offer this report as a celebration and reminder of the arts’ enduring importance, resiliency, and vibrancy.

  • New Jersey State House Public Art Tour
    New Jersey State House Public Art Tour njstatehousetours.org About The Art Tour In 2018, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Public Buildings Arts Inclusion Act of 1978. The Act stipulates that up to 1.5% of construction costs on new or renovated State buildings may be allocated for commissioned artwork at that site. The program’s goal is to enhance the quality and aesthetic effect of State buildings by incorporating works of art into the architectural design. To mark the anniversary, the Tour Office created a special Art Tour to highlight some of the collection of public art in the State House and Annex. “ It is my hope that the viewer will gain a fresh perspective and a sense of civic pride. “ – J. KENNETH LEAP Special artwork was commissioned during the construction of the State House Annex from 1927-31. Newer works credited to the PuBlic Buildings Arts Inclusion Act were installed during the 1990s when the Annex was renovated for legislative committee rooms, committee chair offices, and legislative staff. The building previously housed the Judicial Branch, State Museum, and State LiBrary. During the renovation, new office space was added to the south wing of the capitol. Former New Jersey State Museum Our Art Tour begins in the west wing of the State House Annex. In 1929, this wing housed the State Museum, commissioned by the New Jersey Legislature in 1895 to collect and exhibit specimens in natural history and archeology. Remnants of art created for the Museum space remain. In 1992, new artworks were blended with the old as part of the Public Arts Inclusion Act.

Religious denominations, municipal authorities, and entrepreneurs opened colleges and professional schools in many US cities to meet the demand. The proprietary New Jersey Law School – opened in 1908 – added other divisions, shifted to non-profit status, relocated to a former brewery, and merged with competing local institutions to form the University of Newark in 1936. This “streetcar college” served thousands of working-class and immigrant students during its 37-year history. But, unlike other streetcar colleges, its politically left-of-centre administration and faculty took on local and regional power centres – a stance that harmed its economic viability.
