Israeli-born and New York-based artist Shai Zurim’s work encompasses myriad forms and is drawn from both his intellectual pursuits and spontaneous reactions to the nuances of everyday life. He is concerned about the paralyzing state of our emotional life. Narcissism, egoism, boredom, neurosis and anxiety—all these struggle to characterize a life lacking in purpose, passion, enthusiasm and a sense of community - in short a life of spiritual vacuity. Opening reception: Friday, March 30, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m., with an artist talk at 7:00 p.m.

Leonard Ross had a prolific career as a company photographer for Bethlehem Steel Company starting in the 1960s, and his photographs from this period are as majestic and impressive as the steel construction he documented. Ross’ images of Hightstown and New York from this period offer a remarkable view of the region in the 1930s. Produced in conjunction with the artist’s estate, this exhibit will showcase the work of an understudied photographer to inspire the next generation of budding artists to look more closely at the world around them. Opening reception: Friday, June 1, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m., with an artist talk at 7:00 p.m.
