Allan Rohan Crite: Neighborhood features 65 paintings and works on paper, exploring themes meaningful to the artist: neighborhood, community and religion. Over a career spanning eight decades, Crite documented the multicultural, multiracial and multigenerational communities of Boston, as well as historic social and economic changes that transformed the nation in the latter half of the 20th century. The artist created a rich visual record of Black life in 20th-century urban America, revealing a sense of community that resonates across time and place.
Over the past couple of years, administrators and staff of the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have made it their mission to transform the facility into a bilingual space – and extend a welcoming hand to New Brunswick’s Hispanic and Latino community.
The Zimmerli’s first exhibition dedicated to Armenian nonconformist art from the Dodge collection features nearly 60 artworks by more than 30 artists who captured the ideological, stylistic and aesthetic diversity of Armenian nonconformism from the 1960s to 1990.
The public is invited to an array of free programs, including a new series of virtual talks with four artists whose works are on view in Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always, the unprecedented survey of contemporary Native American art. Such favorites as SparkNight, Último Domingo and Art Together also continue through the spring.
It is with deep sadness and profound respect that the Zimmerli acknowledges the passing of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), a visionary artist, educator, and activist whose life’s work transcended boundaries and bridged cultures. Her extraordinary contributions to contemporary art and her tireless advocacy for Indigenous voices have left an indelible mark on the art world and beyond.
