Follow on Google News | November Free First Thursday Night at MAMExtended gallery hours offer free admission, unique programming, live music, and a full-service bar in partnership with Upstairs; November 5, 5–9 p.m.
TD Bank sponsored a children’s art contest at MAM, inspired by the Museum’s current special exhibition Eric Carle: Animals and Friends, which invited children in grades K–5 to draw their friend. Submissions were collected from the opening of the exhibition on September 12 through the October 1 Free First Thursday Night. The winners are: for K–2, 1st place Lauren Chung (Paramus) and 2nd place Clara McCrum (Cranford); for 3–5, 1st place Nico McClendon (Montclair) and 2nd place Katie Chung (Paramus). The winning entries will be celebrated at the November Free First Thursday Night with an award ceremony and display and then exhibited at the Montclair branch of TD Bank. Winners will also receive a prize pack from TD Bank and the Montclair Art Museum. The Montclair Art Museum will also host Uniform Justice: The Montclair Project at Free First Thursday Night. The presentation at 7 p.m. will include an introduction to the project created by Intersections International to improve relationships between police departments and the communities they serve, performances by the combined choirs of Union Congregational Church and Union Baptist Church and by Passing Notes, Montclair High School’s a cappella group, and community dialogue about future possibilities around Uniform Justice's Community Police Training and Enrichment Program in Montclair and its associated performance piece. Free First Thursday Night tours are offered every hour on the half hour: 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. This month, each tour will have a different theme. The 5:30 p.m. tour will highlight the Museum’s current special exhibition Eric Carle: Animals and Friends. At 6:30 p.m. Chief Curator Gail Stavitsky will lead a focused look at a selection of the works in the Work and Leisure in American Art exhibition of the Museum’s permanent collection. And finally, the 7:30 p.m. tour will honor Native American History Month with a look at the newest installations in Rand Gallery.
