Salon des Refuses
Running concurrently with the first two shows (Jan. 21 through March 1) will be a digital loop of entries to the Monmouth County Arts Council (MCAC) exhibition – entries that were not accepted into the show on view at the Monmouth Museum on the Brookdale campus.
The title of this show, "Salon des Refuses," is taken from the 19th century series of exhibitions launched by Napoleon III, which gave radical artists their first official showcase in defiance of the annual Salon Juries of The Louvre, Paris.

The accepted works of the annual MCAC Juried Show will be on view at the Monmouth Museum. The two collections (accepted/rejected) will be on view simultaneously in galleries that are next door to each other.
