Inspirations Exhibition Continues Through August 30 – Panel Discussion Tomorrow

There is still time to experience Inspirations: A Global Cascade of Influence — From Old Souvenirs to New Voices at the John F. Peto Studio Museum in Island Heights, New Jersey. The exhibition remains open to the public through August 30, 2026, showcasing the work of 34 artists from the ÀNI Art Academies network across the United States, Dominican Republic, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Anguilla.

The exhibition explores the powerful ways inspiration moves through generations, cultures, and communities. At its core is John F. Peto’s Old Souvenirs, a work that profoundly influenced ÀNI Art Academies Co-Founder and Curriculum Designer Anthony J. Waichulis and ultimately helped inspire an educational framework that has impacted artists around the world.

Visitors are also invited to attend a special panel discussion tomorrow, where Anthony J. Waichulis will join fellow artists and educators in a conversation exploring artistic influence, creative development, and the role of inspiration in shaping contemporary representational art.

Whether you have already visited the exhibition or are planning your first trip, this is an excellent opportunity to engage more deeply with the ideas behind the show and the remarkable artists whose work it brings together.

Inspirations: A Global Cascade of Influence — From Old Souvenirs to New Voices is on view at the John F. Peto Studio Museum through August 30, 2026.
