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

Koi Too mural

The Central Avenue SID is pleased to announce the unveiling of the most recent mural added to the Central Avenue streetscape. "Koi Too", by artist and Heights resident Ed Morris (aka T.Dee). The splendid mural was completed last week on the sidewall of the historic Jersey Drugs building at 286 Central Avenue. A visual feast, it features vibrant, colorful and larger-than-life koi fish swimming in the walls and is a truly extraordinary and captivating example of public art that continues Central Avenue's tradition of commissioning outstanding local artists to add their distinct, irrepressible visions to the Avenue.

The unveiling will be held on a new rain date to be announced,
next to the Jersey Drugs building at the corner of Central Avenue and Hutton Street  in the Jersey City Heights.
