Exhibits & Events

We are the River examines how contemporary artists are inspired by, interact with, and interweave their own stories into the complex history of ourNew Jersey rivers. From ecological disaster to personal accounts to community building, artists will reflect on the significance of our rivers as not only a resource but as shared space of experience. Using Smithson’s “exploration”, the exhibition will address the past, presentand future of the rivers that once brought life but now threaten the very communities they help build
