  • Disturbing the Surface presents a dynamic survey of contemporary printmaking, showcasing work by members of the American Color Print Society (ACPS), a national non-profit organization dedicated to promoting original graphic art and advancing the art of printmaking.

    Featuring both traditional and experimental approaches, the exhibition spans etching, lithography, relief, screenprint, cyanotype, risograph, digital printmaking and artists books. Together, these works demonstrate the extraordinary range of expression the medium makes possible—from bold graphic compositions to delicate, layered impressions.

    Disturbing the Surface underscores printmaking’s ongoing relevance and adaptability, offering a vivid look at how artists continue to reinvent the medium.

    The Noyes Galleries at Kramer Hall showcases work by a wide range of regional, national, and internationally prominent artists.

  • The Noyes Galleries at Kramer Hall add vibrancy to the Arts District in downtown Hammonton with exhibitions that change seasonally.  The Noyes showcases the work of a wide range of artists including those from New Jersey, the Mid-Atlantic region, nationally and internationally prominent artists as well as Stockton faculty and students.  The space allows the Noyes Museum to better serve the populations of Atlantic, Burlington, Cumberland, Salem and Camden Counties.
