Founded by Vivian McDuffie, WAM is a 16-year-old group of professional artists who work in a variety of media and styles. Each year, member artists divide the work of securing space and organizing the annual exhibition. This year’s exhibit was organized in part by member Elizabeth Seaton, who also teaches in Bloomfield College’s Division of Creative Arts and Technology.
“The theme is not necessarily hormonally challenged,” stated fellow artist and organizer Lori Field of Montclair. “We’ve assured the artists that they are free to interpret the title any way they would like.” Gallery guests can thus expect “the unexpected.”
Exhibiting Montclair artists include Virginal Schaffer Block, Mona Brody, Marion Held, Lori Field, Jean Kawecki, Catherine Kinkade, Wendy Lewis, Bonnie Maranz, Vivian McDuffie, Janet Taylor Pickett, Sharon Pitts, Addie Patuto, Rochelle Rubin, Elizabeth Seaton, Assunta Sera, Ela Shah and Joan Vaccaro.
Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or by appointment. For more information call 973-748-9000, x 343 or x129.
