Emerging: Stedman Gallery’s 50th Anniversary

Celebrating the Stedman Gallery’s 50th Anniversary, Emerging presents artworks from the 700+ artworks of the Rutgers-Camden Collection of Art, which the Stedman has stewarded since its founding in 1975. The campus’s permanent art holdings include collector-donated artworks; gifts from friends of the gallery and artists’ estates, purchase prizes from the Stedman’s national competitions; and purchase prizes from Visual, Media and Performing Arts (VMPA) graduating classes. Emerging highlights abstract photographs by Joe Clementi, Eric Porter, Tatiana Parcero, Ken Hohing, and former VMPA photography students, leading us on a journey through visions of our host city of Camden, New Jersey. These photographs enter into conversation with drawings, prints, and paintings that provide earlier style renderings of the city, donated by collectors who value the artist’s eye and hand. Featuring both long treasured and recently acquired collected artworks, Emerging honors the Stedman Gallery’s past, present, and future as a site for meaningful visual arts programming and collecting.
