Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum presents the 2025 New Jersey Arts Annual (NJAA) in partnership with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. The NJAA is a unique series of exhibitions highlighting the State’s visual and performing artists. The theme for the Arts Annual 2025 will be Artist as Activist, inviting submissions of work that reflect artistic thoughts and responses to this concept. An artist as activist is someone who harnesses the power of creativity to inspire social and political action. Unlike traditional activism, which often relies on direct action or advocacy, these artists engage in activism through various forms of expression, particularly visual art. Their work challenges norms, raises awareness of critical issues, and encourages audiences to think critically about the world around them.

The Arts Annual will seek artists whose work addresses a broad range of topics and concerns, including human rights and access to resources, environmental awareness and justice, racial and gender equality, health and well-being, and the political and cultural climate. This work may serve as a vehicle for advocacy, highlighting injustices, and envisioning alternatives. By capturing emotions, experiences, and truths through their art, these artists strive to promote empathy, spark dialogue, and inspire individuals toward collective action.

Warimono invites visual artists to submit works for our upcoming exhibition, Dispatch. This exhibition explores themes of communication, transmission, and the act of sending out a message or signal. The exhibition will run on our website from April 1 to May 31, 2025.

We seek artworks that investigate the flow of ideas, whether through physical connections, unseen signals, or abstract exchanges. Dispatch invites artists to reflect on how messages travel across time and space—how they are sent, received, transformed, or even lost along the way. From the immediacy of a fleeting transmission to the resonance of a message that lingers, this theme offers an open framework for interpretation.

Artists are encouraged to explore how concepts of communication, connection, and signal resonate in their practice, examining the visible and invisible threads that link us to one another. Whether through networks, gestures, symbols, or sounds, Dispatch aims to highlight the diverse ways messages are shared, interpreted, and remembered.

It's up to the individual submitting to decide if and how the title aligns with their ongoing practice. We welcome diverse perspectives and encourage artists from all backgrounds and stages of their careers to participate.
