Art Crawl in JC 🎨🖼️

Sat, Sep 19, 4:00 PM

From JC Artsy Women (40+) 🎨🌈

Hi everyone! One of my biggest passions in life is art and its history. I love sharing my own artistic knowledge as well as learning new perspectives of it from fellow art lovers. I would like to try to execute a small art crawl on Saturday. There are a sprinkling of art galleries in Jersey City we can go to that are normally open from 11 am to 6 pm. Here are the galleries I found that are walking distance: Edit: I updated the third one, the previous gallery is permanently closed. For this event, we can just do 2 or 3 galleries depending on weather and mood! Novado Gallery - 110 Morgan St Deep Space Gallery-77 Cornelison Ave IMUR Gallery - 67 Greene St If you’re up for it, there is one a bit further out in Journal Square, SMUSH Gallery- 340 Summit Ave Of course, we can also pop into a coffee shop or bar for refreshments. See you soon 😎
