Several collections of artwork are on display in William Paterson University's Ben Shahn Hall.

The collection of artwork titled "Mountains, Barriers, and Poppy Fields" from Bascha Mon contains a personal view of a landscape of grandeur and despair, stemming after the tradgedy of 9/11. 

The "Deforestation" exhibit by Betty McGeehan includes bent wood, bamboo, rope, and gold leaf as a metaphor for the balance and struggle between humans and nature.

There is also an exhibition of work by Bascha Mon. An exhibit of African art and artifacts called "Objects of Power."
