Artist/Curators' Panel on 365 Days of Print Exhibition
Visual Arts Building, NJCU
Panel discussion for 365 days of print: 100 Culver Ave.
Jersey City, NJ
Held from 5:30 - 7 p.m. in the auditorium adjacent to the gallery. Artists and curators will discuss the artistic processes and challenges involved in their project.
image by Cecil Howell
The Egyptian Revolution, the Japan earthquake, the killing of Osama bin Laden - every news story has the potential to amaze, sadden and inspire.
A new NJCU Visual Arts Gallery exhibit, "365 Days of Print," shows how 43 international and local artists drew from newspaper articles to create over 120 works of art.
It all began in 2009 as one of photographer and artist Maya Joseph-Goteiner's personal projects. During her morning commute, Joseph-Goteiner was reading The New York Times when she realized how times and the news were changing. Back then, she had just started using Twitter and thinking about how digital and print news both impact their readers in different ways.
She began creating pieces of art every day using a current newspaper article and began inviting others to join her. In January, she launched the "365 Days of Print" project, in which artists create one work inspired by a news article every day for a month.

Arts District Zoning
Arts District Zoning for the Heights – Make it a Reality
If you are an artist and have lived or had a studio space in the Heights at any time–we need to hear from you!
The Distillery Gallery & Artspace recently obtained variances from the Board of Adjustment, designating the gallery as commercial property and paving the way for its re-opening this fall. During the preparation of the application it was brought to light that the Distillery was already part of an existing “Riverview Arts District”, established in May of 1984 by Council Resolution. In order to make the “Riverview Arts District” a reality and nurture the Heights artist community, we’re asking for your help in providing clarity to the following questions via survey about artistic production and live/work space. All responses are anonymous and will remain confidential. Please make sure that other artists you know answer the survey as well, by sharing this link with others via email or by posting on social networks and/or websites.
SURVEY: http://kwiksurveys.com/online- survey.php?surveyID=NLDMOH_7a4 13466
For more information about the history of the “Riverview Arts District” and what we’re doing please visit: www.distilleryart.org.

CLP invites anyone and everyone to paint what you think your city loves. It is composed of several mediums including a prepared 6’x12’ canvas, photo backdrop and musical accompaniment. The canvas is prepared with a rearranged
‘I ♥ JC’, to read ‘JC ♥ __’, to visually propose CLP’s question, “What Does Your City Love?”
Using black and red paint, the canvas transforms into a living portrait of the city through the eyes of the people. After they paint, each participant is photographed.
CLP enables everyone and anyone to freely express themselves, as well as break down barriers between all classes and ethnicities of people through participatory art.
Participants are able to continue their participation with CLP virtually through video, social media and still photography, creating multi-channel connections.
CLP Jersey City is being made possible by the generous support of local donors and the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency to help promote The Jersey City Artists Studio Tour October 1st & 2nd Noon-6pm.

JERSEY CITY, NJ September 20, 2011 – The Biblioteca Criolla of the Jersey City Free Public Library announces its presentation of a group of indigenous children from Kukuma, Peru, whose photographic exposition of the “Niños de la Amazonia” organization expose their daily lives thus providing a window of identity. Their work will be displayed in a gala reception at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian on Saturday, September 24th, and immediately after travel from Washington, at the Biblioteca Criolla.
The photographic exhibit is open now, with the formal reception for the exhibit of 47 photographs to be held at Biblioteca Criolla on Tuesday, September 27th, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Main Library, 4th Floor, 472 Jersey Avenue in Jersey City. The participants of “Niños de la Amazonia” will be given a Proclamation by Jersey City At-Large Councilman Ray Velazquez Jr. Light refreshments will be offered, as well as entertainment provided by a Peruvian association. The exhibit runs until Friday, September 30th.
Participants of the reception welcoming the niños de la Amazonias include the chaperones, the founder and president of the organization, “Niños de la Amazonia,” Ms. Coplan, and its board of directors, and of course, the Peruvian children themselves.
“We’re very enthusiastic, not only to highlight the incredible work of the Amazonian children, but also to thank the non-profit organization, "Children of the Amazon," for providing such valuable and unique content, one from where we can all appreciate their insights and learn from them,” said Patricia Vega, department head of the Biblioteca Criolla. Ms. Vega will offer Spanish translation so the children can fully express themselves, explaining their work and experience with this project.
