ARTIST CHARLY PALMER featured at THE NOYES MUSEUM
The Exhibit Partners the African American Heritage Museum and the Noyes for Black History Month

The Noyes Museum of Art has partnered with the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey in Newtonville, N.J. to bring the exhibition Charly Palmer to the Noyes Museum. The exhibition, on display now through March 18, features over 18 watercolors and prints from Georgia artist Charly Palmer.

Palmer’s complex compositions often address strength and survival, especially within the African American community. Of his work he says, “What makes it unique is not what I’m saying, but how I’m saying it. A trademark of my art is the circles and hidden messages throughout the piece. What I have also discovered is that my work is most successful when I allow the experience to happen and not to control it.” He was born in Fayette, Alabama in 1960, raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and studied art at the American Academy of Art and the School of the Art Institute, both in Chicago. He began his career as a graphic designer and illustrator, opening a design studio in Georgia in 1992 with clients that include Coca-Cola, IBM, Pepsi, Disney, McDonald's and General Mills. One of his most notable commissions was the 1996 Official Olympics Poster. His work is also in the collections of Atlanta Life Insurance, McDonald’s Corporation, Miller Brewing Company and the Coca Cola Company. More information on Palmer can be found at http://www.charlypalmer.com/.

The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey has an extensive collection of paintings, photographs and other items that depict African American heritage. The museum includes over 3,000 artifacts and offers educational programs for children and adults. For more information about the Heritage Museum please visit http://www.aahmsnj.org/.
