Signs of Hope is a comprehensive youth arts program in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County. The program includes visual and performing arts instruction, activities, and projects, with family events that celebrate the students' successes. SIGNS OF HOPE Signs of Hope is a comprehensive youth arts program in collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County and the YMCA of Freehold Borough. The program includes visual and performing arts instruction, activities, and projects, with family events that celebrate the students' successes. A primary component of the program is the actual "Signs of Hope," where students are given the opportunity to design and create street signs with positive messages for their community. The program started in the spring of 2018 at the Boys & Girls Club's Asbury Park location, with generous support from the Mary Owen Borden Foundation. After the program’s initial success, additional funding from the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners, the Provident Bank Foundation, First Energy, Investors Bank, and Whole Foods helped expand Signs of Hope to the Boys & Girls Club in Red Bank and the Freehold Borough YMCA. For Summer 2021, the Signs of Hope program has gone virtual! As part of the virtual program, we created packets of summer arts activities for the students. The packets (inspired by those created by the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers) include activities from the Zimmerli as well as some of our local community arts partners, such as Wooden Walls and Two River Theater. Click on the packet cover to download a copy! Monmouth Arts | Signs of Hope with the Boys & Girls Club of Red Bank Take a look at some of the exciting things happening with the Monmouth Arts Signs of Hope program!

This program invites all Monmouth County senior citizens to apply to be included in the show held at the Monmouth County Library in Manalapan. The show is held in August of each year, and winners from the show move on to compete once more at the NJ State Senior Citizen Art Show. Since only so many artists can move forward to the State show, Monmouth Arts has decided to produce a second exhibit of selected artists from the show to show their work once more at ArtSpace 105! These artists were curated based on the recommendation of a panel of jurors who reviewed the work prior to the August exhibit. The mediums range from Acrylic, Oil, and Watercolor, to Mixed Media, Drawing, Photography, and Craft. We are proud to present this incredible group of professional and nonprofessional artists at ArtSpace 105 this year, and hope you will join us as we celebrate the incredible achievement of Monmouth County's senior citizen artists!
