our approach for art in the community

at Fish with Braids we don't really pretend to be in the millionaire groupie set,
we aim to bring art to a broader public, we want art to be part of a communicative community, art to be collectible by anybody, art to be tool for urban development.


An extended outdoor experiment in this regard is the CREATIVE GROVE artist & designer market, weekly on fridays in Jersey City.
Grove Street PATH station, where the community is invited to express, participate, create, communicate and sell.
the link to this outdoor art scene is www.creativegrove.org


Besides building visibility for the artists, local makers, indie creatives, this event aims to build a financial outlet for them.
It is also an important aspect of Jersey City's cultural scene, the only weekly outdoor
forum for artistic expression, performing arts and participatory exchange.

Fish with Braids is together with Arts in Action the organizer,promoter and manager of CREATIVE GROVE
