SUMMARY:Decisive Moment
DESCRIPTION:Decisive Moment\nPhotography by artist Evan Wolarsky\nOn view: Feb 14 – Mar 14\nOpening: Sat\, Feb 14 | 3-5pm\nExhibition Statement:\nEvan Wolarsky was a devoted street photographer\, roaming the streets of New York\, the Princeton campus\, and destinations around the world in pursuit of what Henri Cartier-Bresson famously called the “decisive moment”\, that fleeting instant when form\, emotion\, and meaning align. Working primarily in black and white\, Wolarsky captured scenes of everyday life with sensitivity\, patience\, and a keen eye for human presence. \nEvery photograph in this exhibition was printed by Wolarsky himself. From 1976 to 1993\, he maintained an extensive darkroom in his Pennington home\, mastering traditional photographic printing techniques. Later\, he transitioned seamlessly into digital printing\, developing deep expertise in Photoshop and a nuanced understanding of papers\, inks\, and printers. His commitment to craft remained constant across technologies\, with the final print always central to his practice. \nWolarsky’s passion for photography began at the age of nine\, when his father gifted him a Leica camera\, a moment that sparked a lifelong artistic pursuit far beyond hobby. Alongside his creative work\, Wolarsky led a distinguished career in medicine\, earning degrees from Harvard\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and Wharton\, completing surgical training at Columbia-Presbyterian\, serving in the U.S. Navy\, and later becoming the first medical director of Hunterdon Medical Center before retiring in 1999. \nIn addition to being a dedicated physician\, Wolarsky was a gifted pianist\, marathon runner\, and active member of the artistic community. His photographs have been exhibited at Soho Photo Gallery in New York City\, Ellarslie at the Trenton City Museum\, and in national online exhibitions\, and are held in private collections throughout the Princeton area. \nPhotographs in this exhibition are available for purchase\, with proceeds benefiting the Arts Council of Princeton. \n

SUMMARY:Jersey Art Meetup (JAM)
DESCRIPTION:Princeton Comic Makers presents: JERSEY ART MEETUPS (JAM)\, a weekly social event connecting creatives within the greater Central Jersey area through a shared passion for sequential art and new media.  Attendees may use this open workshop space to draw\, write\, and develop their own artwork\, with an opportunity to receive peer review and feedback from other members if desired. Illustrators\, animators\, writers\, and generalists are all welcome to join and discuss their art and career goals\, share learning resources\, promote current projects\, or find friends and collaborators. Together\, we aspire to cultivate a local community that keeps artists motivated towards achieving their dreams! \n\nOpen to ages 16+ of any skill level interested in any form of narrative art and design (i.e. Animation\, Concept Art\, Comics\, Game Design\, Picture Books\, etc.)\nGroup meets weekly on Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm. Casual attendance is accepted!\nBringing own materials is highly encouraged. Some basic materials are provided – paper\, pencils\, etc. – but please bring any tools necessary to help you create (i.e. drawing tablets\, sketchbooks\, etc.)\n\nWho we are: Sponsored by artist and educator Ronah Harris\, Princeton Comic Makers is an artist collective founded in 2023 by local illustrators Christina Castro\, Suyang Gong\, and Masha Zhdanova after noticing a lack of in-person community spaces for NJ-based artists specializing in narrative arts and communications design. Although we create independently\, we often exhibit together at events such as MoCCA Fest\, Anime NYC\, and Camden Comic Con. Our weekly study group motivated us to strive towards completing projects and working towards professional goals\, so we hope more people can benefit from this club! \nChristina Castro is a freelance illustrator and storyboard artist who graduated from Pratt Institute (2018) with a BFA in Digital Arts (2D Animation) and a minor in Creative Writing. Past clients include Smashbits Animation\, gal-dem zine\, and Bad Robot.

She has formerly worked as a teaching assistant at the Sharron Art Center for 3 years\, tutoring students in refining technical drawing skills. Suyang also specializes in traditional media\, often using materials like graphite\, ink\, and oil paint to create dynamic works. Masha Zhdanova is a freelance writer\, editor\, and illustrator who graduated from SCAD (2019) with a BFA in Sequential Art and recently completed her MFA in Cartooning at the Center for Cartoon Studies (2022).
