Pen + Brush is thrilled to announce our partnership with The Wooden Walls Project to bring the work of Michela Martello to Asbury Park for the artist’s first public art installation. Martello’s installation, called Eternal Swoon will be located in the carousel as a whimsical, floating mural that embodies mythological imagery in Martello’s signature illustrative style. 

The Wooden Walls Project:

The Wooden Walls Mural Project is a collaborative initiative that brings art to Asbury Park to enrich the socio-cultural and socio-economic landscape in a thoughtful way.

Pen + Brush:  Pen + Brush is a 128-year-old publicly supported not-for-profit organization fighting for gender equity in the arts. P+B provides a platform to showcase the work of female identifying and non-binary artists and writers to a broader audience with the ultimate goal of effecting real change in the marketplace. We encourage and mentor emerging professionals and aim to expose the stereotypes and misconceptions that perpetuate gender-based exclusion, lack of recognition and the devaluation of skill that is still experienced by women in the arts.

General Information:

Pen + Brush is open to the public, as well as private groups, Tuesday – Saturday from 12pm to 6pm. We are located on East 22nd Street, between Broadway and Park Avenue South, and our gallery is accessible.
