Headquarters for the
Arts in Southern New Jersey

The arts are alive in southern New Jersey.

In the studio, solo artists work their craft. Stone chips. Paint drips. Dots on paper dance a new tune. In the gallery hangs an original new show. At the museum, art lovers and artists gather for a gala art event. In the theater, musicians, dancers and actors collaborate in performance. At the school of arts, young artists explore new territory.

It’s all happening, all here in south Jersey. And ArtC is at the center of it all. It’s a gathering place for artists – headquarters of art knowledge, listings, news, art classes and appreciation. ArtC exists to encourage, promote and appreciate the best of the best. It’s a resource for working artists and up-and-coming young talent, in visual arts, the performing arts and multimedia.

ArtC is the gateway to the arts in southern New Jersey.

Filled with hope and determination, the children of this ravaged country created brilliant paintings, story books and photographs. This exhibition presents the journey of the Noyes Museum team in photographs and the idea that art knows no boundaries. Images capture the devastated country, its cities and mountainsides, and its people trying to rebuild their lives against all odds.

Small Towns, Black Lives: African American Communities in

Southern New Jersey on view at Atlantic City Airport’s: ArtPort

A thirteen year project documenting the small, historically African American, towns and settlements of the southern counties of New Jersey is now on exhibit at the Atlantic City Airport’s: ArtPort from February 7th till April 11th, 2011. The images are photographic and text based narratives of the contemporary lives and the historical traditions of the community. White’s Journey for Small Towns began in 1989, shortly after he relocated to the area to take a teaching position at Richard Stockton College. From his first visit to Cape May County’s Whitesboro, a community founded by black entrepreneurs in the post-Reconstruction era, White realized there was more to the story. Indeed, what evolved is the visual product of an artist’s passion with his subject but he has added many other ingredients, including interviews, history, and a sense of place. The story that White unfolds, while unique, contains themes that transcend specific locales and speaks to the experience of a people and of a nation. Present in this exhibition is a small sample of the total body of work.

Wendel White received a 2009-2010 En Foco New Works Photography Fellowship; a 2009 and 1993 Artist Fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts; a 2005 grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts and in 2003 he was appointed a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
