Concentric Circles of Influence: An evening of film, art and music
The film, Generations of Artists: Roosevelt, NJ is a short documentary about a central New Jersey arts community that has continued through three generations. Ever since Rockefeller Center mural painter Ben Shahn was invited by the Works Progress Administration to create a mural in Jersey Homesteads (since renamed Roosevelt), this rural village has become a haven for potters, painters, musicians and writers. Generations of Artists is a visit with the artists who continue to make Roosevelt their home nearly a century after the town’s founding.
Performances of music by Roosevelt based bands the Woe Nellies and The Big Rascals will give a taste of local talent along with an ice cream social sponsored by The Bent Spoon.
