Museum Statement: Since 2015, the Monmouth Museum has proudly celebrated our Artist Members through a non-juried art exhibition. The exhibition will feature miniatures, with artwork no larger than 15" x 15" when framed. All media types are welcome, but artwork must be wall-mountable. Open to all Museum Members aged 18 and up.

There’s an exciting spin to the Nilson Gallery during this exhibit! The gallery will also host a gift shop with a few tables for guests to do a workshop or enjoy a prepackaged snack—great reasons for more visitors to discover your work.

This exhibition is exclusive to Museum Members (limit 2 pieces per artist). Not a Member yet? Become a Member today! Visit our website at or contact Membership Coordinator Jenna McDonald at jmcdonald@monmouthmuseum.org or 732-224-1993.
