Sandy Bennett Art Gallery

"Life is a lot like Jazz…..it’s best when you improvise."

 

 - George Gershwin

 

While the word “performing” is centered in its name, bergenPAC’s mission is to make all art forms accessible to the community. As part of that, The Sandy Bennett Art Gallery features a different visual artist each month. The gallery was named for former bergenPAC team member Sandy Bennett in 2016 after her passing. She was a passionate artist herself and loved to curate the gallery from the time bergenPAC first opened.

 

The gallery is now curated by Helene Cohen, who continues to emphasize creating a platform for artists of all backgrounds. She often hosts artist receptions so the public can meet the creators and hear more about the work. Located on the mezzanine level of the theater, many of the gallery pieces are available for sale with 30% of the proceeds supporting bergenPAC’s nonprofit mission.

Current Exhibit

Jazz Town 

Through the Lens of Chuck Stewart

Teaneck native Chuck Stewart photographed a variety of legendary jazz musicians, with many of his compositions appearing on at least 2,000 album covers. Following a run at The Puffin Cultural Forum in Teaneck, this exhibition highlighting local artists will be displayed at bergenPAC and expanded to include more Englewood-based artists.

Jazz Town welcomes guests to take a journey through the lens of Stewart and the stars he photographed, as each piece will have a QR code to play audio or video clips featuring the musicians.
