Welcome to The Ruth Bauer Neustadter Gallery at HACPAC, a captivating space where both local and professional artists converge to showcase their remarkable talent. Our gallery is a dynamic hub that celebrates the diverse artistic expressions from within our community and beyond.
The Hackensack Art Club invites the community to experience the profound impact of art at “Blooming Connections: For a Better Tomorrow”—an inspiring exhibition on March 6 at the Hackensack Performing Arts Center from 6 PM to 9 PM. This free event is open to everyone who wants to celebrate creativity, connection, and the transformative power of artistic expression.
For 86 years, the Hackensack Art Club has enriched the cultural landscape of Hackensack and Bergen County, fostering a vibrant community where artists come together to share their talent and passion. This year’s show embraces the theme of interconnectedness, highlighting how art continuously evolves, inspires, and brings people closer in both profound and deeply personal ways.
Art is more than a visual experience; it is a universal language that speaks to the soul—a spiritual force that unites us across cultures and generations. Whether through a brushstroke, a sculpted form, or an innovative technique, art has the power to uplift, heal, and ignite change. It invites us to see the world and ourselves in new and meaningful ways.
Join us for a memorable evening at the exhibition’s reception on March 6, where guests can meet the artists, explore their work, and immerse themselves in the beauty of creative expression. Original artworks will be available for purchase, directly supporting both the artists and the Hackensack Art Club’s ongoing efforts to cultivate creativity, connection, and community engagement. The show is on view March 5th through March 31st.
Art Gallery Curator
Kim’s mission for the Gallery at HACPAC is twofold. By bringing compelling and lively exhibitions to the community, Kim hopes to encourage a deeper appreciation for art, as it holds the power to greatly enrich our lives, especially in today’s fast paced, high-tech world. Additionally, while exhibiting the works of more established artists, Kim also seeks out new motivated artists who have built cohesive and intriguing bodies of work. As a full-time working artist herself, Kim is aware of how challenging it can be for emerging artists to be granted gallery exhibitions and believes in offering opportunities for new creatives to show their work. In addition to her work as Gallery Director and Curator for the Gallery at HACPAC, Kim works as the in-house artist at hOMe Store, an interior design and furnishing store in Hawthorne, NJ. There, she paints original pieces in her studio and also creates commissioned works specifically for clients’ spaces. Kim is also represented by Barsky Gallery of Hoboken, NJ, CINQ Gallery in Dallas, TX, The Art Collective Gallery in Rogers, AR, and also exhibits at Glen Hansen Studios in Southold, NY, as well as the Gallery at HACPAC. Kim’s work hangs in both private and corporate collections across the country, and has been featured in (201) Magazine, The Bergen Record, The New York Times, Furniture Today, Dallas Style & Design Magazine.
