Fresh Perspectives 2024

This juried exhibition began at the Morris Museum in 1989 as an outlet for artistically accomplished New Jersey high school students to express their curiosity and creativity. Now in its 35th year, Fresh Perspectives shares superb works in a variety of media including photography, drawing, painting, digital art, and sculpture, created by New Jersey’s most talented young artists. Participants continue to inspire our community with their thought-provoking works and unique perspectives about art and the world around them.

Fresh Perspectives 2024 is a hybrid exhibition. An online virtual gallery will display the 50 entries recognized by the museum’s panel of three jurors. From these 50 entries, the curatorial team will select a number of 2D and 3D works for display in our galleries, on view from March 15 through May 26, 2024. This exhibition is organized by Anne Ricculli, Ph.D., Director of Exhibits and Collections at the Morris Museum.
