Come see the works of artist Don Bloom.

Sunday, February 10
Visit the East Brunswick Public Library during January and see the works of local artist Don Bloom. Bloom’s portraits of American presidents are based on a series of Presidential stamps put out by the United States Postal Service in 1986, with additions of America’s more recent residents. The portraits were drawn after being commissioned by Edward Mendlowitz so that they could be printed on envelopes and have the new stamps cancelled with a special “First Day Issue” postmark. Bloom has received numerous awards, fellowships and scholarships during his career. His work is on permanent display at Rutgers University and many local libraries, including East Brunswick’s. This exhibit is part of the Library’s Celebrate New Jersey month. For more…

This week's Hub City History post takes a look at the history of one of New Brunswick's prominent performing arts houses, the State Theatre.
After 91 years of life, anybody would have a myriad of stories to tell about the things they have seen. And while it cannot speak, New Brunswick's own State Theatre, at nearly 91 years of age, is littered with hints of its past lives in the building architecture and photos of performers past. The theater will celebrate its 91st anniversary in December of this year, a somewhat historical spot in New Brunswick that has changed hands several times over its life and moonlighted as a movie theater, an RKO theater and a vaudeville theater. In 2012, the theatre hosted a total of 216 events for a total audience of 215,980 people, according to the theater's 2012 fiscal year report. Early Years The State Theatre opened its doors on Dec. 26, 1921. …

The East Brunswick Young Adult Charity Players will perform "Better Luck This Time!" at the Cultural Arts Center.
After 11 years of mounting original productions every summer, the East Brunswick Young Adult Charity Players decided to take a somewhat unique path towards their wholly original 2012 show. That would be the tactic of blending the completely original with the completely imitated. That production, Better Luck this Time!, opens today (Friday, Aug, 3), at the Cultural Arts Center, and it mixes an original script with countless popular songs from a myriad of sources, from Bruno Mars to the New York stage sensations Avenue Q and The Lion King. Mike Solomon, producer of Better Luck this Time!, explained that the decision to blend the new with the old for the group’s 12th original production was hardly attributable to one person. “This year's show…

When dementia prevents her from speaking, Joan Murray uses art to communicate with the world around her.
“I love you. I’m frustrated.” The words are scrawled on two yellow pieces of paper, written in black and circled in red. This is the most lucid and comprehensive feeling that senior citizen artist Joan Murray is able to express through her art that is currently on display at the South Brunswick Senior Center. Murray, a longtime resident of South Brunswick, suffers from dementia. Dementia is a loss of certain brain functions including memory, thinking, language, and behavior, according to the US National Library of Medicine. Murray started painting and drawing when she was a young girl. “I just took to it,” she said. Until recently, her favorite things to make were animals, trees, and birds. But one of her more recent drawings caught her …
