Zimmerli Art Museum
SPOTLIGHT TOURS
Sundays, January 16, 23 and 30, 2:00pm
Join a docent educator in the museum lobby every Sunday at 2pm (while Rutgers is in session) for an informal and informative introduction to the collection. Concord Sonata: The Music of Charles Ives
Sunday, January 23, 3:00pm Influenced by the unlikely combination of Beethoven and Stephen Foster, Charles Ives was truly an American original. The gifted composer/insurance salesman combined his European music training with his grassroots affinity to America in his rarely heard or played Concord Sonata. This mammoth piece is a slice of Americana as never heard before. Closely aligned with the 19th-century American transcendentalist movement, Ives called upon Emerson, Hawthorne, Alcott, and Thoreau to give voice to his unique musical expression. Drawing Club, Children Ages 6-8
Wednesdays, January 26 - February 23, 4:15pm to 5:45pm Children can discover the secrets of drawing when they participate in the popular Drawing Club, which takes place on Wednesdays after school.

Professional educators address the needs of both beginners and advanced artists.
 Dancing with the Dark:
Prints by Joan Snyder 1963-2010
Jan. 29 - May 29
This first retrospective of the artist's prints displays the extraordinary range of Joan Snyder's distinctive graphic achievement. A Rutgers alumna, nationally noted painter, and 2007 MacArthur Fellow, Snyder has developed a powerful body of work that explores aspects of nature, humanity, and identity. A pioneering feminist artist who was championed early in her career, Snyder has infused her works with physical energy and vibrant color to express deeply personal experiences. For over 45 years, she has created remarkable prints full of passion and zeal, in addition to her widely acclaimed paintings. Over 110 prints are featured in this exhibition. This exhibition is accompanied by the first illustrated monograph documenting Joan Snyder's prints, with essays by Faye Hirsch, the noted contemporary arts writer and senior editor at Art in America, and Marilyn Symmes, the exhibition's organizing curator and the Zimmerli's Director of the Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts and Curator of Prints and Drawings. The 176-page color-illustrated book is co-published by the Zimmerli and DelMonico Books · Prestel.
