alumni artTom Moran, Chief Curator for Grounds for Sculpture, was the guest juror for the exhibition. He selected 75 pieces of art of various media including printmaking, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and graphic design/visual communication.

The 36 alumni selected for the exhibition graduated from Stockton between 1982 and 2017. Those graduating from the Studies in the Arts/Visual Arts program with a BFA, BA, or as a minor were eligible to enter. Selected artists include alumni Jeff Quattrone of Woodstown, Nikki Robinson of Marmora, and Bruce Mohn of Jackson.

Quattrone (‘84/photography) raises social consciousness through graphic design. He is a multi-faceted award-wining art director and designer. Quattrone is also the founder of Library Seed Bank. Three of his propaganda posters are included in this exhibition.

Robinson (‘12/photography), a relatively recent graduate, started her own eponymous wedding photography business right out of college. She continues to explore photography outside of its commercial milieu. Her three digital color prints in the exhibition focus on her travel and exploration of our nation.

Mohn (‘92/biology/painting/illustration) is a professional artist specializing in three-dimensional reconstructions of the skeletons of dinosaurs, early birds and pterosaurs. His works are on display in twenty museums around the world. In this exhibition, two of his acrylic landscape paintings were chosen.
