SUMMARY:New exhibition at Trenton City Museum: African American Abstractions
DESCRIPTION:Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie announces the new show African American Abstractions\, a vibrant and colorful showcase filling three galleries with works by James E. Dupree\, Femi J. Johnson\, and Kenneth J. Lewis. Janis Purcell worked closely with the artists as the exhibition’s curator. African American Abstractions is on view through May 24. Aligned with the show are a free Family Workshop on Abstract Art Saturday\, April 11\, from 10 a.m. to noon and an Artists’ Roundtable Sunday\, April 26\, at 2 p.m. Information is available on the museum’s website. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nJames Dupree has been a practicing artist in the city of Philadelphia for over five decades. With exhibitions and residencies of national and international scope\, Dupree has created a legacy within the world of Fine Arts and Culture. His mediums include but are not limited to paint\, mixed media\, and sculpture. \nWith 35 different series of work reflecting the life of a contemporary African American Artist\, Dupree’s art treads the line between politics\, culture\, and fine art. What lies beyond the viewer’s initial aesthetic impression\, are poignant messages on race and class. As a master of his craft\, the intentionality behind his work is supported by the intersection of his expression of color\, form\, and unparalleled technique. Paired with Dupree’s ardent activism as a stronghold within the Philadelphia community for the last forty years\, this artist and agitator carefully impacts all which he touches. \nDupree holds a BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design\, an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania\, and has attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. After\, he went on to teach at Arts Centers and Fine Arts Schools\, including Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art\, University of Pennsylvania\, and Crewe and Alsager College in England. \nCurrently\, James Dupree owns and operates two Contemporary Fine Art galleries. Dupree Gallery Philadelphia\, which has been open since the 1980’s\, is located at 703 South 6th Street in Philadelphia\, The newest gallery location is located in the vibrant small town of Lambertville New Jersey at 10 North Union Street. Both locations host a variety of solo and group exhibitions of artwork crafted by renowned national and international contemporary artists. \nFemi J. Johnson’s abstract storyscapes embody a uniquely raw and permissive form of contemporary abstraction. Floating harmonized color\, shaped figural elements\, and snippets of line drawing all find their position and coalesce as expressions of Johnson’s worldview. Familiar places\, formal or self-educated beliefs\, and personal or media-influenced subjects abstractly saturate his mutable compositions\, freeing the viewer to explore interchangeable scenarios. Translating chaos into temporary but believable order on canvas\, Johnson’s cohesive improvisations exalt the rich connectivity of life. \nFemi J. Johnson was born in Manhattan\, New York\, and raised in Easton\, Pennsylvania. His early talent in graphite and charcoal drawing led to a professional career as a Master Draftsman & Designer for companies in Pennsylvania and New York. After thousands of technical drawings over decades of work\, Johnson redirected his creative energy back to the fine arts. He studied in a two-year studio art program at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy\, New York\, where his engagement with contemporary and modernist art in commune with his Yoruba spirituality inspired his emerging studio practice. In 2012 Johnson returned to the Lehigh Valley\, where he currently works out of his studio in downtown Allentown\, Pennsylvania. He has exhibited extensively across the region and internationally\, with works in corporate and private collections. \nJohnson is documented in Afrocosmologies: American Reflections at the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art in Hartford\, Connecticut. Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020-2021. A Gathering Of The Tribes#16: The Black Lives Matter Issue. \nHis work is held in the permanent collections of The Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art in Asbury\, New Jersey; the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland\, in College Park\, Maryland. \nIn 2016 Johnson was recognized with an Allentown Arts Ovation Award for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Arts. From November 2018 through July 2019\, he was named Allentown Art Museum’s Artist-in-Residence\, and for five years\, Johnson has been a featured artist at the Museum’s Cocktails and Collecting event. He remains actively engaged as a teacher\, mentor\, and ardent supporter of the arts community. \nKenneth J. Lewis Sr. is a self-taught contemporary visual artist\, born and raised in New Jersey. Remarkably\, he did not paint at all until the age of 47—creating his first work after experiencing a sudden\, overwhelming urge to express himself through art. Since that pivotal moment\, he has developed a powerful and personal visual language that blends abstraction\, symbolism\, geometry\, and landscape. \nHis works often begin with layered and expressive backgrounds. From this abstract foundation\, he constructs environments and structures—typically using painter’s tape to shape forms\, pathways\, and geometric compositions. Kenneth’s pieces feature vibrant acrylics\, hand-drawn details\, spray paint\, pastels\, and oil glazes. His process allows for both spontaneous expression and structured design\, reflecting the balance between chaos and order in life. \nKenneth’s artistic practice is rooted in passion\, energy\, and intuition. He lives a creative and stress-free life\, often painting for hours at a time in his gallery/studio\, the KJL Art Sanctuary in Ewing\, NJ. This space serves not only as his personal studio but also as a gallery and community hub for exhibitions\, paint parties\, and workshops. It accommodates up to 20 people and is available by appointment. \nHis work has been exhibited in public and private spaces throughout New Jersey and beyond—including Capital Health Gallery in Hopewell\, the Hamilton Township Library (where his works have rotated every six months for over six years)\, Trenton Public Library\, Starbucks Trenton\, Ewing Municipal Building\, Trenton Social\, and numerous group exhibitions. He has upcoming solo shows and large-scale projects scheduled through 2026. \nKenneth J. Lewis Sr. is driven not by academic theories or traditional rules\, but by the emotional and spiritual force behind creation. His mantra\, “One moment. One muse. One masterpiece\,” captures the essence of his work: deeply human\, rooted in experience\, and boldly expressive. \nAbout Trenton City Museum \nTrenton City Museum is housed in Ellarslie Mansion\, an 1848 Italianate villa in the heart of Trenton’s historic Cadwalader Park\, which was designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted. The building\, which is on the National Historic Register\, is owned by the City of Trenton and operated by the nonprofit Trenton Museum Society\, founded in 1973. The museum explores and celebrates Trenton’s history and culture\, showcases contemporary art\, artists\, and performers\, and offers a variety of community gatherings\, classes\, and workshops throughout the year for all ages. Hours are Thursdays through Saturdays\, 12 to 4 p.m.; Sundays\, 1 to 4 p.m. There is no admission to view exhibits; donations are welcomed. \n### \nCaption: Left to right: Artists Kenneth J.

SUMMARY:Voices Chorale: An American Tapestry - Voices of Many
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, our annual spring concert weaves together music from many corners of the American choral landscape. Works by iconic composers such as Randall Thompson\, Aaron Copland\, and Morten Lauridsen appear alongside African American spirituals\, selections from the American Songbook\, and music by contemporary women composers. \nThe featured work on the program is “The Hope of Loving” by contemporary composer Jake Runestad\, a moving composition expressing compassion and the bond of our shared humanity. \nTogether\, these pieces reflect themes of community\, perseverance\, faith\, and hope that form the tapestry of the American experience. \nAt a time when dialogue about the country’s past and future continues to evolve\, this program offers a moment to reflect on shared values and the enduring power of music to bring people together.

SUMMARY:Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art
DESCRIPTION:Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art\nWednesday\, May 6\, 6:30 pm \nBats\, gourds\, peaches\, ribbons\, and monkeys on horses: these images are frequently (and creatively) depicted in Chinese art — but what do they mean? Just as the Chinese language is an exquisite conduit for rebuses (visual puns) and symbolism\, motifs that appear in Chinese art often represent wishes for good fortune. Join us as we decipher hidden messages of prosperity\, health\, and happiness found in traditional Chinese art using selected objects from the Asian Art Museum’s collection. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.

SUMMARY:On Courage\, Turmoil\, and the Transformative Power of Love with Marjan Kamali
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting conversation with internationally acclaimed author Marjan Kamali as we delve into the timeless wonder of her New York Times bestselling novel\, The Lion Women of Tehran. \nIn 1950s Tehran\, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father\, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances\, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation. \nLuckily\, on the first day of school\, she meets Homa\, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together\, the two girls play games\, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home\, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar\, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.” \nBut their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran\, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later\, however\, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives. \nTogether\, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point\, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences. \nRegister now to hear directly from the author about the crafting of her tender\, yet immensely powerful work. \nAbout the Author: \nMarjan Kamali\, born in Turkey to Iranian parents\, is the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion Women of Tehran\, The Stationery Shop\, and Together Tea. She is the 2022 recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Award. Her books have been translated into over thirty languages. Marjan lives with her family in the Boston area.
