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

For our Indiegogo fundraiser campaign

we will have an information table for the perks offered and

Detective Story and Murder for Two

The Attic Ensemble at the Barrow Mansion The First Show of our 43rd Season OPENING THIS WEEKEND!! Detective Story! Friday November 8-17, 2013       Featuring:        Ryan Bender           Norberto Cancel Ben Davis                   Art Delo     Katherine Doyle            Paul Ellis Erica Hazel Flory       Andrew Gelles Phil Haas                 Ben Holmes Paul Kazalski                Ginger Kipps Ron Leir                     A.J. Liana       Hank Morris     Christine Orzepowski Jack Pignatello        Vernon Richardson Amy Rutledge            Bret Sarlouis Alberta Thompson     Brendan Wahlers    THE STORY: August, 1949. A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ "gardener" with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod -- a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage November 8-17, 2013.

Friday and Saturdays at 8pm Thursday Nov. 14th at 7 pm Sundays at 3 pm $20.00 general admission $15 students and seniors NJ Arts Cards are accepted for discounted ticket pricing.

Art surge, processing Sandy through an art procession

• 
  
• 

  
  

  A year after Hurricane Sandy flooded the streets of Jersey City and blacked out many of our homes for more than two weeks, Art Surge seeks to ritually reclaim our city using art, music and theater.

  At 2 pm on Nov 17th, Art Surge will take to the streets with a celebratory procession, mapping a path through the flood zones and interacting with works of art along the way. The procession will begin in Hamilton Park and continue to Liberty State Park over the next 60 to 90 minutes. The community is invited to join the procession anywhere along the route.

  How We Are Making the Art:

  Art Surge is a two phase project: Phase One involves Jersey City residents in a series of story circles exploring themes that emerge from the storm. The story circles and other artistic reflections are an opportunity for participants to share individual stories and connect as a Jersey City community. These stories will be woven into works of music, theater, and physical art by the assembled group.

  Story circles will take place: - Sunday October 27, 2-4:30 PM - Sunday, November 3, 2-4:30 PM - Sunday, November 10, 2-4:30 PM

  Story circles will take place in a studio space at 225 Montgomery St buzzer 1.

  Phase Two: On Nov 17th, Art Surge will take to the streets with a celebratory procession, mapping a path through the flood zones and interacting with works of art along the way. The procession will end in Liberty State Park with kite flying and other activities that celebrate the natural world and the creative spirit of Jersey City.

  The procession will begin at approximately 2:00pm in Hamilton Park and continue to Liberty State Park over the next 60 to 90 minutes. The community is invited to join the procession anywhere along the route.

  How you can get involved:

  - Come to a story circle! Here we will share our experiences and make meaning from our collective history using theater, song, and art to help us. In these circles we will mine our collective culture and create rituals of reclamation to celebrate the lives we're living here in JC.

  - Yvonne & Olivia are seeking artists to help them create short performance installations and portable or biodegradable works of art for the procession. Artist should contact Olivia o.a.harris@gmail.com.

  - We are also seeking volunteers to help us along the route by sharing maps, information, and handing out water. Please contact us if you are interested in volunteering.

  We hope you’ll join our march.

  Event is scheduled rain or shine. https://www.facebook.com/events/320526164756366/?ref_newsfeed_story_type=regular
