Creative Grove art scene update Nov 8

Nov 8  2013  at Creative Grove

a mysterious Dj will offer surprise tunes,

The participatory art project this week is a wheatpaste paper sculpture,

building up layers of paper and fabrics on a cardboard manniquin.

The results are always different from anything anyone can visualize due to the multitude of

participants.

The technique of how to apply wheatpaste with layers of paper 

allows the thought process of building up layer by layer to sink in,

develop interesting projects and / or masks and costumes.

Artists participating this friday: 

Pablo Naranjo

Urban art, graffiti style taken to a new level, and on useful objects as pillows or bags

Sarah Emily art

Steven Mitchell

Uta Brauser

For our Indiegogo fundraiser campaign

we will have an information table for the perks offered and

the fundraiser link !

Van Vorst Park Association meeting

Van Vorst Park Association Meeting Meeting Tuesday September 17th , 7:30PM at the Barrow Mansion 83 Wayne Street All are welcome!  Snacks will be served!

Jorge Mastropietro-New Building at 54 Bright Street Architect Jorge Mastropietro will present his plans for 54 Bright Street. Proposed is a 4 story-4 unit building.  The project utilizes a variety of design strategies. Significant attention has been focused on the exterior skin of the project and its appearance towards the surrounding historic neighborhood.The primary materials for the project consist of brick masonry, and horizontal cedar wood siding. He is open for public comments & questions and will answer any of our concerns. Jorge is presenting to The Historic Preservation Commission tonite, Monday September 16th, 6:30pm Council Chambers if anyone would like to attend.                             image courtesy of smithratliff Bright Street Redevelopment-Bright & Varick Subcommittee will present the latest information on the current status of the proposed development on 268 Varick St. (the corner of Bright & Varick, across from the main entrance of PS3/MS4 school)  The redevelopment plan and proposed project is for an extremely high density (87 units) development - over 4x what is allowed in the Van Vorst neighborhood. It also has ZERO parking provisions. How this project is being allowed is very concerning for all in the neighborhood and sets dangerous precedents for the surrounding communities. So please come if you want to learn more, get involved or at least stop in and sign our petition of support. FILMS IN VAN VORST It truly is the end of summer. Films in Van Vorst finished up September 4th with the funny & touching SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.  We are so grateful to all our volunteers who schlepped popcorn machines, movie screens, speakers, wires...for 3 months!!!! Thanks to all! Our labor was free but the movies were not....Each film cost us close to $300 dollars.  The Van Vorst Park Association was only able to bring the films to the Park with the generosity of Friends of Van Vorst Park and our wonderful donors.  Please support them. By supporting them we thank them. Or feel free to donate on the Films in Van Vorst webpage  www.filmsinvanvorst.com VICTORY HALL DRAWING ROOMS-180 Grand Street Friday September 20th 6-8pm Check out the newest gallery in Van Vorst!!

Durek has performed in six different countries with Pas Musique, leads a group called the SK Orchestra, co-curates the Omega Sound Fix festival, has premiered a piece with the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra as featured thereminist, and has appeared on over a dozen albums. He has an upcoming full length album on the PAS curated series on the swiss label Alrealon Musique, and another EP with musician, artist and frequent collaborator Rachel Mason.

Influences include Autechre, Phillip Glass, Dr. Dre, and Nosaj Thing.

Creative Grove proudly features weekly the talent and art of the local art community,
local describing the Metro City area.

The public art participatory projects are the art fridge, standing perfectly in windy conditions,
ready to be painted, every time again, or the paper sculpture with found objects, wheat paste and
free training how to wheatpaste your art onto surfaces and walls.

these projects bring people together wonderfully,

they are art therapy, building peace.

Jersey City kids look forward to get dirty (with the washable paint, also wheatpaste washes off easily).
