The Rider University Art Gallery is considered one of the major NJ galleries in the state. Artist talks give an opportunity for each artist to express personal ideals regarding, not only the creative process, but also their philosophy. It is also an opportunity for the audience to really interact with the artists that are displaying their work in the Art Gallery. For further information about the gallery talks please contact Harry I Naar, Professor of Fine Arts, Gallery Director at 609-895-5588 or hnaar@rider.edu.
