The Art Alliance of Monmouth County
33 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701

Since  our founding in 1978 by Jean Townsend, the  Art Alliance of Monmouth County has evolved into a  diverse group of over 300 members representing a vast  array of artistic disciplines. The Art Alliance was  initially located at what is now known as the Count  Basie Theater in Red Bank. It was here where members  began holding classes, workshops, and mounting member  exhibitions. In 1992, the Art Alliance moved to its  present location at 33 Monmouth Street.

Today, we are the premier Central New  Jersey showcase organization for traditional and nontraditional  art, including sculpture, painting, drawing, fiber,  photography, collage, and digital art. Our mission  is to promote the advancement of the visual arts and  provide exhibition, studio, and classroom space to  local artists. New members are always welcome and  membership by art lovers is also encouraged.

Our Mission
To promote the advancement of the visual arts, and  provide exhibition, studio, and classroom space.

Our Goals
To offer stimulating, unique, thought-provoking exhibitions;  to provide a social setting for artists and their  friends to meet, discuss, and exchange ideas about  art.

Our Artistic Philosophy  
 We believe that art is valuable and necessary to the  cultural life of any community; that people need a  place to gather and work together; that skillful artists  can learn from novices as well as the other way around;  that everyone has something valuable to offer; that  seeing one's work displayed for public consumption  is an empowering experience; that one's greatest capacity  is the ability to be creative; that making art is  a way of defining who you are.

"As a member and part of Joyce Urbanski's 'Wednesday Nite Sketch Group' at the Art Alliance since I was 18, I encourage membership as way to support our local artist community" -James Yarosh
