Doktor Lorenz works on his public patient


 Dj Doktor Lorenz, an infamous WFMU deejay,   dishes up his rare alternative Americana,

jazzy to new wave treasures

joined with record sales by David P.

at 7.oo pm  Kerwyn Velasco performs with ukulele
Kerwyn Velasco is a singer-songwriter based out of Jersey City, New Jersey. He has made three full length albums with his former band The Son of God Goes Forth to War, and is currently playing in an acoustic duo Sounds Like Brown. His unique voice accompanied by either his simple ukulele style or his more complex piano has delighted audiences throughout the Northern New Jersey area. You can often see him play open mics at the Trolley Bar on Wednesdays or at the Path CafĂ© in New York on Thursdays. 

The boutiques on wheels, Nomad boutique for girls and ladies,  and  Spoil my Bitch funky dog accessories
with a super artsy wooden shed on wheels join the market.
The public art project continues with a paper sculpture with wheat paste.
Learn how to paste up your art or wall paper.
Bring paper or fiber items to add to the Creative Grove community sculpture piece.

Food:  Indian savory meals, Paris on Tour sandwiches, Uzbeki bakery and rice pilafs, El Chilango with yummy tacos and possibly the gourmet french patisserie and cakes by Le Petit Temptations.

Creative Grove is every week a different story.

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
