SCAHC's first show of 2027!

The Art of Movement 

An exploration of how motion, rhythm, and energy are captured through art. This exhibition features dynamic works that showcase movement in its many forms—from dance and performance to the flow of nature and everyday life. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media, we invite artists bring motion and expression to life in powerful and creative ways.

The Garden State

An artist's exploration of New Jersey.  This exhibition invites artists to reflect on the people, places, memories, and experiences that shape their experience of the Garden State—from bustling cities and quiet neighborhoods to beaches, forests, diners, boardwalks, and beyond. Celebrate the pride, identity, culture, and spirit that make New Jersey uniquely personal and deeply meaningful! 

A Matter of Color

This exhibition invites artists to explore the expressive potential of a limited palette by working in black and white or focusing on a single dominant color. Whether used symbolically, emotionally, or compositionally, the dominant color should help define the character of the work. From subtle tonal explorations to bold statements, artists are encouraged to interpret the theme in their own unique way.

Once this show is on view in January, gallery visitors can vote for their favorite piece!

The most popular piece will win our People's Choice Award, which will be presented during the
Reception and Award Presentation. 

More details, including important dates and the Entry Form, will be coming soon.
