Animalia consists of over 60 different works, mostly sculptures made of everyday objects, trash, and recycled materials. The sculptures making up the exhibit replicate nature, ranging from pieces as small as fish made of plastic bottles to a life sized tiger made of bullet shells. Uribe’s upbringing in Bogota, Colombia greatly influenced his work. After witnessing so much conflict in his early life, Uribe’s more current works like Animalia aim to showcase how beauty can be made from destruction. Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers Virgil Ortiz’s Odyssey of the Venutian Soldiers is a collection of various works including pottery, paintings, and sculpture inspired by Ortiz’s Pueblo background that arrived at MAM in September of 2019. Ortiz, a passionate story teller and science fiction fan, creates a narrative inspired by the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 that then carries the observer forward 500 years to 2180. The works themselves include a mural of the characters, pottery figurines with scenes painted on them, sculptures of armor, and more.

History The arrival of the railroad in Montclair in the 1830s transformed a rural agricultural village into a prosperous suburban community, with a rail link to New York that was too expensive for the working class that traveled by street cars and trolleys. Montclair's arts community centered on landscape painter George Inness, who visited for several seasons beginning in 1878 and made it his home from 1885 until he died in 1894, when the New York Times described Montclair as "the home of more prominent artists and wealthy art connoisseurs, probably, than any other place in New-Jersey." Others had preceded him as
