Art surge, processing Sandy through an art procession

• 
  
• 

  
  

  A year after Hurricane Sandy flooded the streets of Jersey City and blacked out many of our homes for more than two weeks, Art Surge seeks to ritually reclaim our city using art, music and theater.

  At 2 pm on Nov 17th, Art Surge will take to the streets with a celebratory procession, mapping a path through the flood zones and interacting with works of art along the way. The procession will begin in Hamilton Park and continue to Liberty State Park over the next 60 to 90 minutes. The community is invited to join the procession anywhere along the route.

  How We Are Making the Art:

  Art Surge is a two phase project: Phase One involves Jersey City residents in a series of story circles exploring themes that emerge from the storm. The story circles and other artistic reflections are an opportunity for participants to share individual stories and connect as a Jersey City community. These stories will be woven into works of music, theater, and physical art by the assembled group.

  Story circles will take place: - Sunday October 27, 2-4:30 PM - Sunday, November 3, 2-4:30 PM - Sunday, November 10, 2-4:30 PM

  Story circles will take place in a studio space at 225 Montgomery St buzzer 1.

  Phase Two: On Nov 17th, Art Surge will take to the streets with a celebratory procession, mapping a path through the flood zones and interacting with works of art along the way. The procession will end in Liberty State Park with kite flying and other activities that celebrate the natural world and the creative spirit of Jersey City.

  The procession will begin at approximately 2:00pm in Hamilton Park and continue to Liberty State Park over the next 60 to 90 minutes. The community is invited to join the procession anywhere along the route.

  How you can get involved:

  - Come to a story circle! Here we will share our experiences and make meaning from our collective history using theater, song, and art to help us. In these circles we will mine our collective culture and create rituals of reclamation to celebrate the lives we're living here in JC.

  - Yvonne & Olivia are seeking artists to help them create short performance installations and portable or biodegradable works of art for the procession. Artist should contact Olivia o.a.harris@gmail.com.

  - We are also seeking volunteers to help us along the route by sharing maps, information, and handing out water. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering.

  We hope you’ll join our march.

  Event is scheduled rain or shine. https://www.facebook.com/events/320526164756366/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular

Be A Part Of The Show!

Friends of the Loew's Event Volunteers do everything from selling the tickets to making the popcorn to showing patrons to their seats and cleaning up the theatre afterwards. If you are interested in joining us this weekend or at any other event this season, email us at loewsjersey@gmail.com or call us at (201) 798-6055.

There will be an especially warm sense of camaraderie for those who help us in making sure the show does go on this weekend. As always, volunteers can bring a guest to help, pick a complimentary selection from our concession stand, and after the crowd is in and the film begins, they can enjoy the show. We do ask, however, that volunteers stay 30-40 minutes after the final show the help us clean up.
