OVERSIZED MATERIAL,, 1978-2004

The Janet Indick Papers consist of 3.2 cubic feet of documents that chart her career as a New Jersey artist between 1962 and 2008, although the bulk of the material is from 1977-2007. Papers include correspondence, fellowship and grant applications, donation agreements, newspaper clippings, membership directories, slides, exhibition catalogs, newsletters, magazines, journals, fliers, postcards, and pamphlets. Awards, fellowships, and solo and group exhibitions are among the subjects represented. The papers also prominently feature Indick's involvement in, and support of, Jewish and religious institutions, including Hadassah and the Interfaith Forum on Art and Architecture (IFRAA), as well her participation in organizations for female artists, such as the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA). Pictures of Indick's work (in slides and in promotional materials) and several different versions of her artist's statements are included, making this collection useful for researching the growth of her professional career as a painter and sculptor. Researchers interested in the New Jersey art scene between 1977 and 2007, especially in regards to sculpture, Jewish art, or women artists, may also find the collections of exhibition catalogs and promotional materials helpful. Few materials pertain to Indick's personal life or family, with a few exceptions, such as correspondence between Indick and Temple Beth Rishon discussing the Yahrzeits (memorial ceremonies) for her parents and the fact that Indick is an attendee of Beth Rishon. No original art or sketches are included.
