Reckless Pen & Palette: Fall 2025 Exhibit Debut
Anna Cohen’s First Show as Chair featuring 4 New Artists
This fall, The Woman’s Club of Red Bank came alive with creativity, connection, and culture. The Fall 2025 Art Exhibit unfolded across two inspiring open houses—October 19th and October 25th—transforming the historic clubhouse into a museum-style gallery filled with local artistry. Guests explored works by four remarkable local artists, each offering a distinct visual voice through painting, photography, and design.
Featured Artists: From Allegory to Abstract
The Fall 2025 Exhibit showcased an eclectic mix of media, offering something for every artistic taste. Guests discovered originals and prints, framed replicas, and furniture art pieces, many available for purchase—perfect for collectors or anyone looking to bring a touch of local creativity home.
- Amanda D’Adamo – Allegorical Contemporary Art Paintings
- Danielle Bongiorno – Fine Art Photography
- Jennifer Bavosa – Distressed Art Furniture & Frames
- Tim Tobin – Abstract and Realist Paintings
Even beyond the open houses, the art remained on view throughout September and October delighting visitors who attended the Club’s many community events—from two “Reckless Steamy Nights” concerts presented by the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Foundation, to the annual fundraiser “Brunch with the Beyond”, tango dance classes, a middle school songwriting studio with Project Write Now, a private bridal shower, and other gatherings that filled the mansion with laughter, learning, and inspiration.
A New Chapter for the Woman’s Club Art Committee
This exhibit also marked an exciting milestone: the first show curated by Anna Cohen D’Adamo of Galaxsy Enterprises in her new role as Art Committee Chairperson. Though initially meant to co-chair alongside Peggy Masse, Anna rose to the occasion when Peggy stepped away, leading the exhibit with fresh vision and inspiring momentum.
“Art is one of the many ways our Club connects people,” Anna shared. “We want local artists, musicians, and writers to see this as their home, too.”
Looking Ahead: The Future of Reckless Pen & Palette
Building on the success of this season’s exhibit, Art Committee Chair Anna and her team are exploring plans to transform one of the upstairs rooms into a permanent gallery space—an inspiring new idea that will require both presentation and renovation before it comes to life.
The vision, inspired by Peggy’s name Reckless Pen & Palette—a nod to The Reckless Estate and the Club’s mission to blend art and literacy—reflects our dedication to supporting both local artists and authors.
As The Woman’s Club of Red Bank continues to grow as a creative community hub, we invite artists, authors, and volunteers to get involved and help shape this next chapter in our artistic journey.
