Newark Between Us Exhibition Featured 133 Works by 97 Artists at National Newark Building

The exhibition Newark Between Us was presented from October 22 to December 17, 2006, occupying the sixth floor of the National Newark Building at 744 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey. This expansive show included 133 artworks created by 97 different artists, filling approximately 30,000 square feet of exhibition space. Among the participating artists was Miriam Brumer, whose watercolor paintings explored themes ranging from microscopic subatomic particles to vast galactic forces and human sexual anatomy. The exhibition represented a significant gathering of artistic voices in a historic Newark location, bringing together diverse perspectives through various media. The National Newark Building served as the architectural backdrop for this ambitious presentation of contemporary art. Miriam Brumer's contributions specifically connected scientific and biological imagery through her distinctive watercolor technique. The exhibition's duration spanned nearly two months during the fall of 2006, providing extended public access to this substantial collection of works. The scale of the exhibition—both in physical footprint and number of participants—made it a notable event in Newark's cultural calendar that year.
