SPRAWL, is a multi-venue exhibition that addresses the issues and problems related to sprawl as we know it in our state. The effects on urban, suburban, rural and marginalized areas are all addressed by the works in this exhibition. Artists from all over New Jersey have been selected to participate. Works in the exhibition range from drawings and paintings to interactive installations. Through this exhibition, the museum was hoping to explore as many different concepts and understandings of the idea of sprawl and its attendant issues as possible. Other venues participating in SPRAWL are The Shore Institute of the Contemporary Arts, The Arts Guild of Rahway, The Hunterdon Museum of Art, and the Art Galleries at Ramapo College.
