winter wonderland at Project Greenville call for art

Happy Autumn to Everyone,

Most of Jersey City is now covered in red and yellow leaves and Columbia Park right down our street is looking beautiful in crisp fall colors! And while this is my favorite season, I am writing looking ahead to the wintertime in the hopes that, despite my late communication regarding our latest open call, some of you will participate in and attend our 3rd Annual Winter Wonderland Weekend! This years group exhibit and festivities will take place Friday Saturday and Sunday December 6th, 7th and 8th, from 5-8pm each day. Deadline for entries is November 29th (but I 'm flexible for those who may need slightly more time : ) and we are looking for your art, photos, collages, drawings, paintings, crafts and other creative endevours that depict or invoke your feelings and imagery of Jersey City during the winter/holidays/new year. Along with the group art exhibit there will be the usual array of snacks from nearby businesses, a children's toy drive bin (bring a new or extremely gently used unwrapped toy to add to the donation!) and neighborhood raffle featuring prizes from local merchants. We are also working on scheduling some great live performances to add to each evening! To participate or learn more please email me directly at projectgreenville@gmail.com or give a call or text to (646)361-1858. I'm sorry to have not gotten this info out sooner, but I hope many of you can still participate on this shorter-than-usual notice and that you will certainly write us into your schedule to come check out the event one of the days that weekend : )

As always many thanks to all of you who participate, volunteer and show your interest which certainly motivates me to keep reaching out....thank you thank you thank you! Looking forward to welcoming the winter with all of you....unofficial after-party over at Moore's Lounge for Miss Ruth's fresh fish fry and live music : )

winter wonderland call for art

Winter Wonderland Weekend this December as part of the JC friday planned for December 7th. 
submit:
Last year id asked for only jersey city pictures, but this year i want people to just go wild!....photos, paintings, collage,
sculpture and crafts all revolving around winter, the spirit of the holidays and the closing of the old year and 
the welcoming of the new one.  Be creative and be enthusiastic; the feel of the event last year really warmed 
my heart after a year of ups and downs and i love being able to spend time with the folks in my community 
this way and invite you to my home to share some holiday cheer before the season gets so busy : ) 

I will have to submit all the info to Art House productions by October 25th in order to be listed in the pamphlet
for the December 7th JC Friday events, so please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to participate.
I won't need to have your work in-hand until Friday November 30th, so that is the official due date, but if you'd
like your name potentially included in the JC Friday materials, i must know by October 25th.  

I am hoping to make something special myself to include as part of the show!

As we did last year there will be a childrens toy drive bin for a local pre-school program on Ocean Avenue and 
a raffle to win prizes from local Greenville businesses as well as seasonal snacks to enjoy with each other!
