The history of education in Jersey City will be the subject of a talk by Cynthia Harris, Manager of The New Jersey Room at the Jersey City Public Library. Council President Mariano Vega will discuss the local Latino experience post WWII to the present. Finally, Barbara Bickart, artist in residence at JCM, will talk about her recent collaborative projectwe call it the river..., a video performance that explores the effects of gentrification on the residents who live, work and worship in Downtown Jersey City. JCM Curator Dr. Rocio Aranda-Alvarado will introduce and moderate the discussion.
Share your stories:
Spearheaded by the Jersey City Museum and the Jersey City Public Library, this program will kick off a special year-long project of collecting and preserving local stories, The public is invited, as are groups who are interested in creating oral histories with their members. Information on how to conduct oral histories and sign up sheets for groups or individuals who wish to become part of the project will be available at the event.
Sunday Sampler is an evolving series that happens each month. The series will highlight the many types programs and events we have on view at the museum. Sunday Sampler is a laid back and casual Sunday afternoon event where wine and light snacks are served as a way to bring artists and art enthusiasts together to mix, mingle and network. Gallery tours will be offered as part of the Sunday Sampler Series. Sunday Samplers act as a way to enhance events and programs already in place.

PADNAmonium
Yes, I know there has been some PAD bias on the site lately -- they have soo much going on those busy bees! But the PADNA (Powerhouse Arts District Neighborhood Association) is really a neighborhood association that the whole city should be involved in. The historic buildings and cobblestone streets are some of the oldest in our city and the struggles they have faced are of interest to all JC residents. Show your support and thanks for all they do to preserve an arts district in JC by attending their fundraiser:
Saturday, April 26th, 8pm-midnight
150 Bay Steet
(two blcks from the Grove Street PATH)
Jersey City, NJ 07302
Live music, fine art, raffles, hors d'oeuvres, drinks and a silent auction (including design services from yours truly!). Featured performances by: American Watercolor Movement, Tremble In The Heat and The Meltdowns.
