Armisey Smith & Kelley Prevard: The Movement of Light Embraces Us All (2023)
A Newark Arts ArtSource collaboration with PATH Port Authority of New York & New Jersey
Curated by Adrienne Wheeler
Newark ArtSource was proud to work in partnership with PATH Port Authority of New York & New Jersey on a six-panel mural by visual artists Armisey Smith and Kelley Prevard, curated by Adrienne Wheeler, entitled The Movement of Light Embraces Us All, this January 2024 on Platform H in Newark Penn Station. Newark ArtSource’s partnership with the PATH Port Authority of New York & New Jersey embraces the diversities of culture and life through bright and encaptivating patterns and silhouettes. As Newarkers and visitors cross paths on their travels in and out of the city of Newark, butterflies in the mural spark reminders of the beauty of change and light the platforms for them to seize the day.

Elijah Milton’s Red Bull Arena Mural
The New York Red Bulls, along with Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and Newark Arts, today unveiled a mural that will be located at Horizon Gate on the concourse level of Red Bull Arena.
The mural, painted by Essex County-based artist Elijah Minton, was designed to represent the Red Bulls loyal supporters, fans, culture, energy and passion for the game of soccer from our neighborhoods to the walls of Red Bull Arena. The goals of the mural reflect the attitudes and essence that connect and celebrate the key surrounding communities. The mural will proudly be on display and serve as one of the first touch points for fan’s match day experience.

I am truly grateful for this experience. Painting at Red Bulls arena after designing a poster for them earlier last year was like having a dream come true. The Red Bulls were great to work with and the Horizon [team] had some great ideas when editing the original design. I am most grateful for the fact that the Red Bulls did not alter my design and respected the artistic integrity of my design. I truly enjoyed the experience and look forward to working with them again.

This was so amazing! It was great not only actually being behind the scenes to watch this project come to fruition, but now to actually see the documentary and relive everything and to see how this is presented to the world! It has truly been a blessing to see. These beautiful murals have touched so many lives in this community, and I am sure they will continue to do so for years to come! It was such an honor to be a part of this and I’m so happy you all chose our center! Thank you so much to Yasmin, and to Matthew and Malcolm, who I would see outside the center late nights seven days a week helping to get the job done! Thank you PK! Thank you Rebecca!
