Visual Arts

Celebrate summer this weekend in Jersey City at the historic La Festa Italiana, with the Jersey City LGBTQ+ Pride Festival, and with Summer Fest in Liberty State Park.

During the Downtown Art Crawl on Thursday, July 28, the doors to ElevatorJC (135 Erie St.) and Art150 (150 Bay St.) will be open to the public from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. 

On a recent afternoon Zaq Landsberg, with paintbrush in hand, was carefully touching up his sculpture “Reclining Liberty.”

“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.

Both “The Emancipation Exhibition” at Crema and “Zero to 80” at SMUSH are family affairs. They fit the mood of contemporary McGinley Square.
