Jersey City Art tour weekend… and the works that I will have around town

1. The 6th annual 4th Street Art and Music Festival (http://www.4thstreetart.com)- I have spent the last 4 months with the title of festival designer for this wonderful street fair. This role has charged me with making 2 very large paintings(4.5 ft X 48 ft , 9 ft X 30 ft ), coordinating artists, and curating a show for the 4th street garage. The Festival is an open forum where more than 1,000 Jersey City residents gather to view (and even shop) the latest works of the city’s finest visual artists & artisans and listen to up-and-coming bands while learning more about what the thriving local arts community has to offer. The Festival truly brings the neighborhood together and provides unprecedented exposure for businesses and artists alike. There will be 2 stages with live music, 40 plus artists/vendors, live artists, and drinking on the street.

-Saturday October 3rd 12pm to 10pm-  4th street at Newark Ave., Jersey City

2. Masks of God- Curated by Brenda Buck and Grant Worth This show is a great addition to the wonderful year that 58 gallery (http://www.fifty8.com) has had, with 16 artists that I personally am really excited to be showing with.
