Muralist Raisa Nosova Raises a Distress call for Ukraine

July 1, 2022 in Eye Level, header, Narrate, News, Westside /by Tris McCall

Enter the Oculus on Vesey Street, and you’ll pass it: a twelve by sixteen foot work of crocheted wall art done in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The team of textile artists behind “Peace for Ukraine” have superimposed an image of a dove, complete with an olive branch, atop the bands of sky blue and […]

“Savage” at Deep Space Is Subversive, Mischievous Fun

June 24, 2022 in Eye Level, header, Narrate, Visual Arts /by Tris McCall

“Savage” is an amusing but cutting show of roughly a hundred works by fifteen street artists, many of whom draw from advertisements, video games, official government announcements, cartoons, promo posters, and symbols from the American unconscious.

June 17, 2022 in Columns, Eye Level, header, Journal Square, Narrate, Visual Arts /by Tris McCall

A Million-Dollar Snub: Pop Musicians Are Artists, Too

June 10, 2022 in header, Narrate, News, Opinion, Performing Arts, Trending Now /by Tris McCall

This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.  The Arts and Culture Trust Fund was sold to us as a boon for all Jersey City creators.

June 3, 2022 in Eye Level, header, Journal Square, Narrate, Visual Arts /by Tris McCall

Stephen Wuensch Gets Physical at Commuter Gallery

May 27, 2022 in Eye Level, header, Latest News, Narrate, Visual Arts /by Tris McCall

The more you look at his paintings, the more you realize: these are images of people. People in an absolute tizzy, sure, but aren’t you?

This Weekend “Impact!” shakes up ART150 Downtown

May 21, 2022 in Columns, Downtown, Eye Level, header, Narrate, Visual Arts /by Tris McCall

“Impact!,” curated by multimedia artist Tarik Mendes, is, like all ProArts projects, a survivors’ tale. It is an exciting show, and an illuminating show, but it is not a happy show.  Then again, these are not the happiest of times.

News Briefs

Mayor Fulop, Public Safety Director James Shea, and Fire Chief Steven McGill swore in 25 Captains to the Jersey City Fire Department at a ceremony inside City Hall on July 1.

Mayor Fulop joined Public Safety Director James Shea and Fire Chief Steven McGill June 30 to announce two brand new fire companies and officially launch a newly created specialized response team, the JCFD High-rise Unit, to respond to all high-rise fires and all working fires as a Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC).  The last fire company added to the Jersey City Fire Department was in 1937.

The Hudson County Board of Commissioners has provided $195,000 for services provided to inmates through the Housing and Reintegration Program of the Hudson County Department of Family Services. The program provides services that inmates can use for housing, substance abuse treatment, clinical care, mental health, obtain medications and go to job training and job search services.

This program also provides the County Department of Housing and Community Reintegration access to 40 transitional housing beds. The program runs from June 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.

Mayor Fulop has announced the creation of a $20 per hour Living Wage Statute for all full-time Jersey City employees. As part of the City’s 2022-2023 fiscal year budget, the Living Wage Statute will boost salaries for hundreds of current and future Jersey City residents and workers from $17 (already one of the highest minimum wage rates in the nation) to $20 per hour – which is $7 more than New Jersey’s current hourly minimum wage.
