Art House Productions Will Present The First JC Fridays Of The Year
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Mar. 03, 2020
On March 6, 2020, Art House Productions' JC Fridays will be holding its seasonal multi-arts festival, featuring art events that take place in restaurants, galleries, stores, and event spaces in almost every neighborhood in Jersey City. From Greenville to the Heights, there are free arts events for everyone in nearly every neighborhood of Jersey City. All events are free and open to the public. As one of the preeminent art scenes in the tri-state area, Jersey City is abound with visual and performing artists of all types, musicians, and individuals with unique talents; JC Fridays is one of the best times for them to share their newest projects and works and connect with the community.
"We are excited to kick-off the first JC Fridays of 2020 with a diverse group of partner venues and artists!" says Producing Director Courtney Little. "JC Fridays has become a mainstay in the community; an opportunity for businesses to connect with local artists, and for the public to explore arts and cultural events in their own backyards for free. I love seeing JC Fridays events in non-traditional and unexpected spaces, like newcomers Heights Orthodontics, who will be showcasing art by Bithika Adhikary."
JC Fridays is sponsored by Jersey City Municipal Council & Cultural Affairs, Historic Downtown SID, JCEDC*, NJCU; and supported by Art Fair 14C.
Visitors are encouraged to attend multiple events throughout the day using the Art House Quarterly (AHQ) brochures found at each location and the online event map at www.jcfridays.com, to plan their own personalized art crawl. Most events are accessible using Via, Jersey City's new ride-sharing service. They are also encouraged to share their experiences on social media using #JCFridays.
