West Windsor Arts Council (WWAC) presents Generation Next: The Family Show, part of its annual “Generation Next” exhibition series. Based on an exhibition idea by artist Joy Kreves and curated by her daughter, Ivia Sky Yavelow, this exhibition includes work by 13 visual artists, each part of a family where two consecutive generations are visual artists.

Working in various media and styles, the artists in this show all grew up around their family’s art or watched their children’s art develop. Seeing their work together invites us to consider how creative expression is passed through generations and how living, working, and growing surrounded by other artists can impact one’s work. In addition to the pieces in the show, images of work made during each artists childhood and/or while they were raising their children will be on view via printed reproductions at the gallery. Artists in the exhibition are: Nancy Azara, Megan Biddle, Michel Biddle, Liz Biddle, Susan Hoenig, Joy Kreves, Nana Olivas, Alice Shockey, Gwen Shockey, John Shockey, Elise Whittemore, Ella Whittemore Hill, and Ivia Sky Yavelow. A celebration of the creative spirit will be held at the reception on July 8th from 4 – 6pm.
