Chillfest Bill Cunningham photographer
Chillfest, the mostly gay and lesbian film series of Jersey City,
presents the documentary film, "Bill Cunningham New York."
WHAT: "Bill Cunningham New York" at Chillfest in Downtown Jersey City
WHEN: Sunday, April 15, at 4:15pm. Doors open at 4:00pm for drinks, food, and socializing.
WHERE: LITM, 140 Newark Avenue (1/2 block from the Grove Street PATH station)
TICKETS: $10 door, $7 advance at www.chillfest.org
About "Bill Cunningham New York" --
The “Bill” in question is octogenarian New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, while dodging Manhattan traffic on his bike, this cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.”
Documenting uptown fixtures (Anna Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.
From the review in "The New York Times" --
"...in “Bill Cunningham New York,” Richard Press’s captivating and moving portrait of a singular man and a passing era, it’s possible to view what Mr. Cunningham does as the flip side of war photography, and not entirely unrelated. He seeks out and captures humanity amid the maelstrom of life, looking for what Harold Koda, chief curator at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, describes in the film as “ordinary people going about their lives, dressed in fascinating ways.” In these fleeting and otherwise unseen or unremarked moments, Mr. Cunningham finds something creative, life-affirming and free, and preserves it forever."
CHILLFEST, the mostly gay and lesbian film series of Jersey City presents gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-themed films to Hudson County, New Jersey and the region. CHILLFEST is a sponsored project of New York Foundation for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Art Eat Up
Pro Arts Presents Art Eat-Up Friday March 9th, 7pm-10pm
Location:
ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS
HAMILTON SQ. 1 MCWILLIAMS PL.
JERSEY CITY, NJ 07302
Pro Arts Art Eat-Up is a food, drink and entertainment event with a twist; for a small donation, guests eat a delicious meal, enjoy good company and musical entertainment, and vote for the most worthy art proposal on the menu that night. All proceeds collected go to the winning project, which will be displayed at the next Art Eat-Up event. It is a great way to network, meet new people, have fun and provide support for a local art project. Art Eat-Up provides individual grants for artists, connects artists to each other and to the greater community and promotes the artistic livelihood of our community. Artists Click Here for Art Eat-Up is a grants process that gives an artist an unrestricted financial resource to realize a visual arts proposal, whether it is for one piece or an entire body of work. The grant may provide materials, equipment or even living expenses while the artist completes the project.
Art Eat-Up is grassroots funding at its best: donations for the community dinner go directly to funding art-makers whose proposals draw the most votes from the diners.
The process is purposely simple: Anyone can submit a proposal to Arts Eat-Up. Community participation in the grant selection process is the key: through this process we hope to stimulate and support experimental, critical and imaginative projects that may not be eligible for formal funding.
Art Eat-Up connects artists with artists, artists with the community, and the community with each other during Art Eat-Up dinners. It provides artists the opportunity to begin marketing their work before it is made. It creates momentum and awareness for art projects promoted during the event and possibly realized with the help of the Art-Eat-Up grant.
How it Works
Art Eat-Up event. Entrance will provide each person with one ballot and dinner with musical entertainment and beverages. Diners view a variety of proposed artworks and art projects. Each diner can cast one vote on the project they would like to see awarded a grant. After dinner, ballots will be counted and the art proposal receiving the most votes will be awarded the money raised through entrance donations (minus expenses and a portion to second and third prize).
The grant money is awarded to the winning artist or organization without limitations on how they use the grant money. Artists can take home the money that same evening. Documentation of the finalized project will be on display at the next Art Eat-Up, as well as other venues, including the web, informing the community of the progress and completion of each winning project.
Watch this space for the next scheduled Art Eat-Up.
We want to thank our sponsors: Art House Productions, Made with Love, and Palace Drugs who have made this Eat-Up possible.

Secrets, Love, a play by Summer Dawn Hortillosa
SYNOPSIS:
Summer Dawn Hortillosa's "Secrets; Love" is a tale set in a modern city about crimes of passion and the nature of love – how we feel it, how we express it and how it can be a powerful secret when hidden.
The play opens with a diverse neighborhood dealing with the recent kidnapping of two members of their Filipino community – Rizalia Salem (Siouxsie Suarez), the wife of Marcus Salem (Stan Vidal), and Marcus’s best friend Marton (Clarence Ilanan).
When their next-door neighbor Diego Carbonell (Jean-Pierre Mestanza) hears mysterious, terrifying sounds coming from their house, he realizes the truth may be darker than anyone suspects. Together with the Salems’ daughter Luz (Liliane Wolf), he puts the pieces together and discovers the lengths some would go to for love.
Some content may not be suitable for audiences 13 and under. For more information, visit http://www.SecretsLovePlay.com

chillfest: Circumstance
We will be showing the film CIRCUMSTANCE, a story about underground lesbian life in Iran told through the intense and passionate friendship between two women.
"Revolutions large and small make themselves felt throughout 'Circumstance,' Maryam Keshavarz's sensuously subversive directorial debut about forbidden love in contemporary Tehran."
- The Washington Post
"Although the broad theme is universal - a tale of star-crossed love - it's the particulars of the setting and the citizenry that resonate here. Shireen (Sarah Kazemy) and Atafeh (Nikohl Boosheri) are 16-year-old schoolgirls who share a passion for music and for dancing and, it's soon revealed, for each other."
- The Globe and Mail
Suggested donation $10 at the door or $7 advance: http://bit.ly/wHKm2l
Doors open at 4pm for drinks, food, and socializing. Screening begins at 4:15pm.

“The Colcha Project,” curated by Doris Cacoilo and Jeanne Brasile is being presented at the Walsh Gallery. The traveling exhibition is an ongoing project that uses crochet as a catalyst for bringing people together in collaborative modes of creativity and in exploration of culture and community. In the Portuguese tradition, colcha (quilts) are crocheted for and included in a woman’s bridal chest and may be handed down through generations. “The Colcha Project” was developed by Cacoilo as a way to share this tradition with others, inviting guests to participate in the creation of new colcha while visiting the gallery. Each iteration of the project results in a new quilt, which shall be on display in subsequent exhibitions. The documentation of making each quilt also becomes part of “The Colcha Project” as each participant adds their story to its history.
Join the project!!
In addition to the colcha that have been made, a quilt in progress will be on display in the gallery and visitors will be encouraged to contribute to its making. Each Sunday between the hours of 1pm and 5pm while “The Colcha Project” is on view in the Walsh Gallery, visitors are invited to join the curators and other members of the group to crochet, share their stories and become part of the “The Colcha Project.” Yarn and needles will be provided for those who do not have their own. A potluck lunch will be served each Sunday. Participants are encourage to bring food and stitches to share. Beginners are highly encouraged to come and learn.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, March 6th – 5pm to 9pm
