JC FRIDAYS



December 5
th JCFridays was another successful evening within the growing Jersey City, NJ artist community. Virginia and Tara, a team duo filled with adventure and life took the town on from one end of the city to another, taking part in celebrations of visuals artists, film/video, performance and music that went on well into the night. Many magnificent places around town have been adding more and more to the list of events and it has been hard to navigate to all of them. But from what was seen and heard...it was a very successful night! We made it the three that night and in the future will make it to more if our prescence is desired…of which…seriously…it should be!!!!

LITM's display of "Little Wonders" was once again a huge success. Andrea Moren, the Art Curator says, "Not only is it a blast to bring together so many talented and diverse artists in one show, it is amazing to see the community turn out to support them. The artwork has been practically flying off the walls, so I think quite a few people out there will be getting one of a kind stocking stuffers. I can't wait to do it again next year!" This show was by far a great adventure for the eye with the many unique artists that were a part of it!

From there this lil team decided to travel…

Balance Salon and World of Style Vintage successfully brought "Something Fishy" to a festive winter wonderland deep beneath the depths of the sea with the illustrative painter Megan Gulick showing an immence collection of fish; all shape and sizes and with fantastic attititudes.


The ambiance of being under water was enhanced by light sculpture artist Norm Francouer and well...as glitter filled the streets, bubbles popped with laughter and good friends and strangers!

BUT....as the gluc began to run low, many scatterd into the streets and onto another adventure. The team at it's best with the random stragglers, packed into a car to ride a few COLD and CHILLY blocks down the street to Piersanti Studios.


Piersanti Studios presented "Sideshow" with his 36 painting tribute to Coney Island. Fire eater Angelica and Snake charmer Serpentina performed and mingled with guests, including local rockabilly band Lonesome Prairie Dogs, gallery guru Orlando Reyes, Big Stick band, and silk screened shirts were printed by Anthony Blunda. Hosted by designer Jill Armus and Linda Kerly, we entertained over 150 guests through the evening. Art sales were brisk, and a wild night was enjoyed by all. Including it's architectural specialties, eccentric art-onlookers and of course the warmth of a home, you can't ever leave without...ummmm "being a hot mess...and yes there are possibilities of losing your car!!!"

BRILLIANT

All in all this weekend has been filled with magnificent artwork, people, and success...
