Liz Cohen, President of hob’art, founded the organization eleven years ago by approaching a number of Hoboken artists to establish a cooperative association. Ms. Cohen lives and works in Hoboken and has curated many exhibits for the association both in Hudson County and other venues.
“Hob’art was founded as a moving art exhibition until a permanent home was established and we are delighted that Monroe Center has worked with us to meet this long awaited goal,” said Ms. Cohen. “With this space we can now reach out to the community to offer discussions, workshops, and forums which is another important aspect of our mission.”
Today, hob’art cooperative gallery has 56 members from Hudson County and other parts of North Jersey. The gallery’s first exhibition will open in February, with the public invited to a grand opening celebration of the only cooperative gallery in Hoboken.
“Hob’art is an organization that is truly dedicated to promoting art in Hoboken not only among other artists, but also in the community at large,” said Mr. Weiss. “This perfectly complements the vision of Monroe Center and we couldn’t be more excited to be the home of their permanent gallery.”
