African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey
The African American Heritage Museum of Southern NJ (AAHMSNJ) will host a reception in honor of it’s exhibit Impressions of the Shore, Paul Keene; Saturday December 1st 2 – 5 pm AAHMSNJ is located in the Dr. Martin Luther King Center at 661 Jackson Road in Newtonville, NJ.
Paul Keene will be on hand to provide insight of his nineteen (19) pieces of art that will be on display at the museum from November 21, 2007 through January 8th 2008 at AAHM.
Works by the distinguished modern American painter, Paul Keene, will be exhibited from November 21, 2007 to January 8, 2008 at The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey in Newtonville. A reception for the artist is scheduled on Saturday, December 1, 2007 from 2:00 to 5:00 P.M. The exhibition, entitled Paul Keene: Impressions of the Shore, includes paintings representing the latter part of Keene’s accomplished career. Collector and writer Lewis Tanner Moore describes the two series as “sublime and lyrical landscapes and seascapes drawn from the early 1970’s …each in its own way monumental.” Born in Philadelphia, Keene was inspired by the paintings of Henry Ossawa Tanner as a child. Keene received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts from Tyler School of Fine Art, Philadelphia, Pa. He was mentored and supported by pioneer African-American Impressionist Allan Randall Freelon (1895-1960) and artist Henry Bozeman Jones (1889-1963); and worked for the Pennsylvania WPA Federal Art Project with accomplished printmakers Raymond Steth (1916-1997) and Dox Thrash (1893-1965). Keene has exhibited at the famous African-American Pyramid Club on Girard Avenue in Philadelphia. Cubism affected his work in the early 1950’s while studying at the Academie Julien in Paris. When on a fellowship in Haiti he combined religion, music and color to produce rhythmic compositions linked to African culture. His paintings have been influenced as well by regional aesthetics and the tradition of social realism, but his vision was also informed by the times in which he lived. Keene viewed barriers faced by black people as “doors to be pushed open” and he represented the blacks in his paintings as a proud people. Mr. Ralph Hunter, founder of the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey, believes that the reception on Saturday, December 1st will provide a unique opportunity to meet a renowned American artist.
The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey, Inc. was founded in 2003 by Ralph E. Hunter Sr. AAHMSNJ serves as a venue for celebrating American History and the legacy of African Americans in Southern New Jersey and throughout the world.

I’ve always had an interest in the arts to some degree. But
when I entered high school, that interest flared. It started with music. For the
first two years attending Holy Spirit, I was in the school’s concert band. Then,
for my third year, I decided to go into visual arts and for my senior year I
also chose to take creative writing along with art. My art teacher, Ms. Denise
Milano, who knew from the from the first time she saw me as a freshman that I
was an artist, was very enthusiastic about having me in her class. She has been
one of my major influences in the arts. From then on, I knew that I wanted to be
an artist.
In honor of Cliff Maddox's exhibit Oils on Canvas
Cliff Maddox exhibit of Oils on Canvas will be on display from May 6 through July 30, 2007.
The African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey (AAHMSNJ) will host a reception in honor of its exhibit Oils on Canvas by artist Cliff Maddox, Sunday May 6, 2007, 2 PM to 5 PM at the AAHMSNJ, which is located in the Dr. Martin Luther King Center, 661 Jackson Road, Newtonville, New Jersey.
Cliff Maddox will be on hand to provide insight of his11 pieces of art that will be on display at the museum from May 6th through July 30th. Clifford Maddox, born in Newark, New Jersey in 1949, is primarily a self-taught artist who shaped his perceptions by being a “keen observer and committed visionary”. He is a graduate of The Arts High School in Newark. He attended Newark State College (Kean University) and studied briefly at The School of Visual Arts in New York City. Mr. Maddox initially concentrated his talents on works combining the use of watercolors, graphite and pen and ink. He redirected his artistic efforts to oil painting in 1990 and has since then honed his understanding of the abstract and his own abstractive reasoning. “The grain of the canvas being
visible beneath the applied color creates the cellular structure of my work,”
Maddox says of his large oils. “I like to work multi-layered on multiple
planes, interconnecting yet remaining independent. It gives me more
opportunities to become visually definitive.” Clifford Maddox’s “Birth Tones”

Betty Bembry Exhibit: "From Down South to up North" The African American Heritage Museum of Southern NJ (AAHMSNJ) will present the work of Betty Bembry, a local artist born and raised in New Jersey. Bembry’s drawings will be on display from Saturday, August 5th through Thursday, November 30, 2006 at the Museum’s exhibit space in Newtonville, NJ (Dr. Martin Luther King Center at 661 Jackson Road). A meet and greet reception for Ms. Bembry will be held Saturday August 5th, from 2-5 pm at the same location. Her work entitled, ”From Down South To Up North,” features 31 pieces of New Jersey Folk Art! Bemby, 45, a native of Elwood, NJ, discovered her own talent and love for art as a child watching her brother draw pictures from magazines. At 12-years-old, she won an art contest that she entered through a magazine, but became discouraged when she found out that growing her talent would cost her family money for lessons at home. Bembry attended Mullica Township Elementary School and Oakcrest High School, in Atlantic County, where she took art classes, but again lost interest when she realized she has already grown beyond the high school art class curriculum. Bembry’s on-again-off-again love affair with drawing and painting continued through her marriage and having and raising eight children – two of whom she tragically lost. For a while, she would only draw or paint for family and friends – who told her that she should do something more with her work. Now, she is boldly back on the art scene – thanks to Hammonton Art Gallery and the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey. She has recently developed the confidence to share her colorful and vibrant “Folk Art” with the world. The Betty Bembry Exhibit is part of the AAHMSNJ’s ongoing mission to provide exposure local, talented African-American Artists who may otherwise go undiscovered.

Artist Joan Reeves Exhibit of Oils & Water Colors The Art of Joan Reeves I have been interested in the fine arts since I was an elementary school student. Through high school I took various drawing and painting classes plus clothing and the beginnings of fashion design. However when I started undergraduate studies at Howard University in Washington DC, I changed my major to Business Administration and graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in Accounting. I spent many successful years in my chosen profession as an executive in public service positions. However, I never lost interest in the arts. As my career was winding down, my passion for the visual arts grew stronger and I became more interested in developing as a visual artist. I attended art classes in 2000 and experimented with various mediums: tempura; pencil or graphite; charcoal; pastel; acrylic; oil and watercolor. I prefer watercolor, oil and pencil. The definitiveness of pencil, the fluidity of watercolor and the flexibility of oil best suit the realistic genre that I prefer. My inspiration comes from God’s creations. I find landscapes, seascapes, flowers, the human figure and horses intriguing subjects. The goal of my art is to express a feeling or mood that touches the spirit of the viewer.

Burns Rose Exhibit “Blow Out”
The Art of Burns Rose
Burns Allen Rose, III, (aka, Boots), spent his formative years in Woodbury, New Jersey. He lived in Ambler, PA, and Greenwich, CT, for a time before returning to New Jersey in 1979 and presently resides in Williamstown, NJ. He served in the USAF; graduated from Montgomery County Community College, Bluebell, PA; Temple University, Phila., PA; and Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ. Burns taught high school for 25 years and retired from teaching in 2000. He traveled to many European countries, the Caribbean, and throughout the US. Burns loves the Lord Jesus Christ and is a Deacon at CCU Missionary Baptist Church in Sicklerville, NJ. Since retiring, he is pursuing his art interest and started by taking his first ever art class with Terri Williams, from Sicklerville, NJ, who exposed him to the various mediums. Burns presently works mostly with watercolor and enjoys the challenges this medium presents. Burns has always loved and appreciated antiques, “junk,” and art. He credits Terri with helping him to use all of his life experiences, interests, and extensive traveling to express his inward feelings and concerns coupled with the beauty in the world through the medium of art.
History comes home to the MLK Center 4/19/05 BUENA VISTA -- Gail Benson says history buffs, like herself, enjoy poking around the past. And they like to share what they've found with others, said Benson, a longtime member of the Buena Historical Society. For these history aficionados, township resident Ralph Hunter is kind of a hero, a man who not only immersed himself in the past but collected enough artifacts and other historical materials to start a museum. On Wednesday night, Hunter will share his experiences in breathing life into the history of black residents throughout South Jersey. "Ralph Hunter isn't just an inspiration to African-Americans," Benson said. "He's an inspiration to anyone interested in history." Hunter's efforts led to the creation of the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey, which found a home in the township's Martin Luther King Center. "He's spent his entire life looking for history wherever he went," Benson said. "And how he did that is of great interest to anyone who is interested in history." History and Hunter have a way of running into each other. And the 66-year-old Newtonville resident knows those meetings can come in unlikely places. Last year, Hunter was walking down Michigan Avenue in Atlantic City when he came upon a family moving out of an old home. One thing led to another and the next thing he knew, Hunter was digging through several inches of mud and dirt in a crawlspace beneath the house.

Any artist would tell you that he uses his craft as a way of expressing what he feels. That much is true for Tyrone Hart Sr., but he has other goals, too. Hart's art reflects the importance of the traditional family. "(What's important is) the strength of the family; it doesn't really matter where they are. The father is the leader. The mother is the teacher, the ruler," he said. In his painting, "Nomads," on display at the African-American Heritage Museum in Newtonville through April, Hart, 48, shows a family traveling through the Egyptian desert. "This shows their struggles in the desert," he said. "The father is the leader. The lesson is (for men) to be that leader, be that strength." His own experience growing up wasn't exactly traditional. "My father was never there, that's why I can cherish it even more. I was raised by six strong women. I had the love, but sometimes you need a man's hand," he said. Museum founder Ralph Hunter Sr. invited Hart to display his work in honor of Women's History Month. "He emphasizes the strength of black women. He tells the marvelous story of the black woman," Hunter said. Looking over "Nomads," Hunter notes that the father is leading the family into the desert, his long staff conjuring an image of Moses. The mother is in the foreground, using her body to shelter the children from whipping sands. Most of Hart's work consists of portraits of black women. The images range from classical strength to modern sensuality. Some are more playful, such as "Flavors," a portrait of three women. "That is strawberry, cinnamon and chocolate. I wanted to show the different flavors of black women," Hart said. Other portraits are deadly serious and seek to show centuries of oppression. "Emotions" shows a black man from the shoulders up. His mouth makes an exaggerated grimace while his eyes seem soft. "This shows the unfairness of society. Just because you're a different color, you are judged before anyone even knows what you are about," Hart said. "I wanted to show the kindness in his eyes, but also the power." Hart began painting as a boy, but put it aside to enter a career in garment sales. He later found his way back after working as a sign painter. He began creating art after a car accident in 1993. A second wreck in 2000 left him unable to return to his job, but offered the opportunity to focus on his art. Entirely self-taught, Hart has been a full-time artist since the 2000 accident that still forces him to wear a leg brace. He works out of a studio in his Pleasantville home, where he lives with his wife and the three youngest of his four children. The African-American Heritage Museum will hold a reception for Hart and Lennox Warner, whose sculptures also are featured. The reception will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday and is open to the public. Warner is an Atlantic City artist who specializes in African and Egyptian-styled wood sculpture.
