Jersey City Canvas and Cocktails Creative Mixer

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 PM
From Creative Spirits Gathering For Local Artists

We are hosting a casual evening for local artists and creatives to get together, grab a drink, and enjoy some time with a paintbrush in hand. The Jersey City Canvas and Cocktails Creative Mixer is all about stepping away from the screen or the studio and connecting with other people in the neighborhood who share a passion for making things. Whether you are a professional artist or just someone who enjoys sketching on the weekends, this is a low-pressure space to chat, share ideas, and maybe pick up a new technique or two. We will provide the basic supplies, so you just need to bring yourself and an open mind. We want this to be a relaxed environment where we can talk about our current projects or just catch up over a cocktail. If you have been looking for a way to meet other creative folks in Jersey City without the formality of a gallery opening or a networking event, this should be a great fit. It would be wonderful to have you there, so please take a moment to RSVP if you think you can make it.

Special screening - Lady Liberty, Secrets of an Icon

From French Movie Nights at the Lycée

A film by **Gedeon** **Programmes** made for **PBS et ARTE** Directed by **Julien Johan** Running Time: **90 mins** **In French with English subtitles. [Free with RSVP.](https://culturalcenter.lfny.org/event/lady-liberty/)** Visionary artist and skilled self-promoter, **Bartholdi** pioneered inventive fundraising campaigns in France and the United States, an early form of crowdfunding, to finance the **Statue of Liberty**. The film traces his transatlantic journeys, the statue’s gradual creation, and the powerful symbolism it carried at its inauguration in October 1886. Alongside Bartholdi, it highlights key figures such as Édouard de Laboulaye, who conceived the idea of the gift, and Joseph Pulitzer, whose press campaign mobilized public support to complete the funding.
