The Noyes Museum of Art is Expanding!

The Noyes Museum of Art will be opening a satellite gallery in Hammonton, New Jersey for October 3rd on South 2nd Street. The NMA is now at a juncture of reinventing itself as not only a place for primarily an adult audience to passively view art, but a place for the community to have an experiential visit. This satellite would provide an exciting opportunity for the community to delve into stimulating exhibitions which will attract a diverse audience from western Atlantic and neighboring counties.

Hammonton’s Downtown is going through a renaissance! New specialty stores, cafes and restaurants have been an almost instant success. The Hammonton Art Center has been the back bone and hub for the visual arts. New streetscapes, façade improvements and a new city hall has been part of this catalyst for this economic revitalization. The proximity of major highways and passenger train station is facilitating more people to visit Hammonton. Given these monumental improvements, in a time when many downtowns are falling apart, The Noyes Museum is proud and honored to be a part a great community. To help insure its success, the gallery space will have an advisory committee composed of the museum’s board, the president of Hammonton Art Center’s Board, and community members of Hammonton.
