MORRISTOWN, NJ.- An exhibition featuring renowned African American artist Barbara Bullock opened at the Morris Museum. Showcasing more than twenty examples of Bullock's vibrant sculptural paper collages, “Ritual and Evocations” is on view January 13 through April 23, 2017. The exhibition is being organized by Art in the Atrium, Inc.

“My work is a response to the need to make things, creating a visual language that invites dialogue and asks questions,” says artist Barbara Bullock. “There is a dialogue between the formations of each element that culminates in a unique visual statement.”

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Barbara Bullock was named a NJSCA Distinguished Teaching Artist in 1997 and 2001. She is a recipient of a 1997 Pew Fellowship in the Arts, Pennsylvania Council on Arts Fellowship, and Leeway Bessie Berman Grant (Philadelphia, PA). Her work is part of the permanent collection of the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Rutgers State University, and many other distinguished locations nationwide.

Art in the Atrium, Inc. (ATA) is a volunteer arts organization founded in culturally diverse Morris County, New Jersey in 1991. Since its inception, Art in the Atrium has proudly exhibited African-American fine art in many venues throughout northern New Jersey. Its annual exhibition, the largest of its kind in the state of New Jersey, has been a successful showcase of art by emerging and established artists, through alliances with the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Office organizations, small businesses, and the public at large.
