“We’re proud and delighted to showcase the stellar work of established, indeed, master artists. We hope to continue this partnership which may lead to future exhibits and programming. We think this exhibit is a good start and hope the MPAC patrons enjoy it and recommend it to their family and friends.”

Since its inception in 1991, ATA has proudly exhibited fine art from the African diaspora in venues throughout northern New Jersey.

Its annual exhibit at the Atrium Gallery in the Morris County Courthouse has become the largest of its kind in New Jersey by successfully showcasing art by emerging and established artists.

“For 30 years, Art in the Atrium has been the prominent proponent of Black art excellence in New Jersey,” said Allison Larena, president and CEO, MPAC.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with them to exhibit significant works by noted and rising Black artists from our region to be viewed by MPAC audiences.”

Artwork is available for purchase. The galleries are open prior to MPAC events and by appointment. To make an appointment, call 973-539-0345.
