When you visit the Arts Council, you’ll find exhibitions throughout the building—don’t forget to check out the Solley Lobby and Lower Level Gallery, as well as the Taplin. Below we have provided information on each space.
Founded in 2008, the first-floor Taplin Gallery has featured notable artists such as Maira Kalman, Philip Pearlstein, and Willie Cole. It hosts a variety of events that are free and open to the public, including gallery openings and artist talks, as well as educational programming for local students K-12. ACP exhibitions and related educational programs receive funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Our Lower-Level Gallery features rotating exhibitions of artwork by ACP Faculty and students. Additionally, this space showcases additional 2D and 3D work by artists that are currently involved in our Public Art projects, such as the Spring Street mural, to further display their talent.
Located on the second floor of the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, the Solley Lobby Gallery features exhibitions from emerging local artists as well as community-based group shows. With gallery lighting and area ideal for receptions, the Andrew Siegal Gallery is a true community space.
Outside of the Robeson Center, on the Michael Graves Terrace, we feature sculptures and outdoor works that fill the space surrounding the building and beckon passersby to consider their surroundings in a different light.
They’re bold, they’re eye-catching, and they’re all around town. These spectacular art installations created by the Arts Council are worth a visit.
