We have a special talk this month as both artists will be at the gallery for this one. Jeff McConnell and Gene Barclay explore the world around them in very different ways that should make for an interesting conversation between two artists.
Jeff McConnell
Jeff McConnell lives in the forests of New Jersey, and found alternative photography when there was no camera of a kind to make the pictures he imagined. He graduated from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 2000, has been exploring photography without lenses ever since, and has shown work and given workshops in numerous countries.

Gene Barclay
My photography is my best attempt to document the people, things, and events that surround me. I have a great passion for capturing the now because you never know what may be of interest years down the line

Third Thursdays is a monthly artist talk from the JKC Gallery. It is curated and moderated by artists, Heather Palacek and Habiyb Shu’Aib, and hosted by Michael Chovan-Dalton, Director of the JKC Gallery. The talks were started by Palacek and Shu’Aib as a platform for local artists to showcase their work to the Trenton and larger regional community and quickly reached an audience from New York to Philadelphia. Now our hybrid shows have regional and international artists and audiences.
