Raritan Valley Community College’s Arts & Design department presents nurture / nature, an exhibition showcasing the work of eight women artists addressing motherhood, eco materialism, and the culture of caring. August 27–September 28, 2024, in the Art Gallery at the College’s Branchburg campus.
The show is being curated by Lambertville-based eco-artist Lauren Rosenthal McManus. The opening reception and artists’ talk will be held Friday, September 6, from 5–7 pm. This event is free of charge and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Each of the artists in this exhibition centers her practice in an ethic of interdependence with both biological and ecological families. The show will feature a variety of working materials and methods from upcycled plastic grocery bags to botanically derived inks, and documentary film to fiber art. While some of the included works expose the tedious and often undervalued aspects of domestic labor, others illuminate the awe and wonder that coexist within the seemingly mundane aspects of daily life. Together, these works reveal the complex dynamics present in relationships based on caring.
Exhibiting artists include: Adina Andrus, Larchmont, NY; Jennida Chase, Greensboro, NC; Jill Christian, Albuquerque, NM; Alison Judd, Boston, MA; Danila Rumold, Albuquerque, NM; Rebecca Schultz, Elkins Park, PA; Cindy Stockton Moore, Philadelphia, PA; Stefanie Zito, Pittsburgh, PA.
Gallery hours are Mondays, 3-8 pm; Tuesdays, 10 am-3 pm; Wednesdays, 3-8 pm; Thursdays, 10 am-6 pm; and Fridays, 1-4 pm. For further information, contact Arts & Design, 908-218-8876

We are excited and honored to finally announce that we have received a letter of support from PBS NC (which clocks in as the 3rd largest public media market in the U.S. reaching up to 1.7 million households!) They would like to see project as a feature (I had pitched the project as a series).
This week we recieved their letter of support. In it they wrote: “As a public broadcaster, PBS North Carolina has a deep commitment to showcasing the artistic community throughout our state, and we believe a public television documentary about motherhood, and the challenges of balancing family life with the demands of artistic expression as an occupation, are of cultural significance to our audience.” (!!!)
