New Jersey Artist Series: Kevin Patrick Kelly and Jowa Ndigirigi, A Kenyan Collaboration is part of Transcultural New Jersey: An Arts and Education Initiative. This initiative is a yearlong, statewide program documenting the contributions of Latino/Hispanic, African-American, Asian-American and Native-American New Jersey artists through more than 20 exhibitions at museums, galleries and arts organizations. The project is designed to highlight the achievements of artists from historically underrepresented populations and provide insight into the state's diverse population, foster cross-cultural dialogue and understanding, and impact curriculum development and education.

Transcultural New Jersey was developed by Rutgers University's Office for Intercultural Initiatives and the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, in partnership with New Jersey Network (NJN) Public Television. It is supported by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, and the New Jersey Council for the Humanities. The exhibition schedule and additional information are available at www.transculturalNJ.org.
