We are pleased to announce that the permanent collection of contemporary
fine art at Passaic County Community College has grown substantially;
therefore, we are introducing the expanded collection to the public
through an exhibition and catalog. Paintings, photographs, sculptures,
and works on paper by regional, national, and internationally known
artists are represented in the collection, including important works by
Jacob Landau, Ben Shahn, and George Tice.
Some of the artworks were donated by artists who have previously
exhibited in our galleries, other pieces were given by individuals, and
a few works were commissioned by the College and community groups.
A more extensive catalog can be found on this website. It features
additional information about the artists and their works, and new images
will be added as the collection continues to grow.
