Art House Productions' Presents ACCESS JC FRIDAYS!

On June 1st, 2018, Art House Productions' JC Fridays will be focusing on accessibility in the arts! Jersey City's premiere quarterly arts festival features art events that take place in restaurants, galleries, stores and event spaces in almost every neighborhood of our great city. ACCESS JC FRIDAYS will showcase a variety of happenings including visual exhibitions, live music, performance acts and educational demonstrations, all showing work from artists with disabilities or offering accessible participation options.

All events are free and open to the public. Rachel Handler, Art House's Access Committee Chair notes, "Jersey City is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and that includes our residents with disabilities. Access JC Fridays should be every day!" Come out and celebrate art, ability and diversity in Jersey City!

ACCESS EVENTS AT ART HOUSE:

(Cast Iron Lofts- 262 17th Street b/t Coles St and Jersey Ave)

• 6:30 PM- Easterseals Disability Film Challenge Screening - We'll be screening some of the winning films from the past four years of the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. Films range from comedies, to dramas, to mysteries! And all of them star actors with disabilities in front of the camera and crew members with disabilities behind the camera.

• 8 PM- STILL STANDING - Anita Hollander is an actor with one-leg. Her one-person show, Still Standing, tells the story of her diagnosis with cancer to the very moment of the performance you'll see on Friday, June 1st. With song, wit, understatement, great dollops of humor, but not a smidgen of self-pity, Hollander reaches out to every member of the audience. How many, after all, will share her one-legged condition?
