The Tomasulo Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Kenneth Campbell MacKay Library on the Cranford, New Jersey campus of Union County College. In 1973 Mrs. Nicholas Tomasulo, an alumna of the College and patron of the arts, endowed the Gallery to memorialize her late husband, Judge Nicholas A Tomasulo. Since then, it has been an integral part of the aesthetic life of both the College and the community.
The Tomasulo Gallery is a showcase for contemporary paintings and sculptures of both established and emerging artists. Its five professional shows and one student exhibit are presented each year under the direction of artist Valeri Larko, who has served the Tomasulo as curator since 1995.
Gallery hours are from 1 to 4 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Evening hours are from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays. For more information call the Tomasulo Art Gallery at (908) 709-7155, email tomasulogallery@ucc.edu or visit our Archives of past exhibits.
