Not only are the pieces created by local and regional artists but they each tell the story of Jersey City in their own unique manner.”

The Art Project at Dvora Pop-Up Gallery Presents David W. Cummings and Beatrice M. Mady
Tour
of the exhibit with Beatrice M Mady. The exhibit celebrates the life and work
of David W. Cummings, a life lived together with Beatrice M. Mady; the couple's
work is full of shapes and symbols, and their message is in living color.
David's colorful works investigated patter, pop and the legacy of abstract
painting since the early 1900s. His works were collected by museums and
featured in galleries across the country. David passed from us suddenly last
year, but he left the brilliance of his work for us to keep. We are excited to
exhibit his and Beatrice’s works together highlighting the exciting ways these
two artists' works developed and interacted with each other.

Though the coronavirus has forced most of us into isolation, The Arts at St. Paul & Incarnation (ASPI) invited the artists of Jersey City and the surrounding communities to try collaboration. For this virtual group show, artists were invited to submit their names to be randomly paired with another artist. Each pair then collaborated on a work of art inspired by the theme.The theme for the first Shared Madness event was “UpRooted”. We selected this theme because for most of us, the pandemic has turned our worlds topsy-turvy. We are all affected in one way or another, some drastically and others more subtly. Artist pairings: Beth Bentley & Karen Carattini; Rochelle Fox & Donchellee Fulwood; Nanette Reynolds Beachner & Janhavi Firke; Charles Lane & Seth Friedman; Lillian Bustle & Anna Kasperowitz; Olivia Wilber & Amy Neufeld. www.aspi-jc.org

The
light artist Sunil Garg will provide a brief introduction to his current
exhibition, Boundless Light, at NJCU Visual Arts Gallery. Using light, form,
color, and movement, Sunil Garg creates site-specific installations to turn
NJCU’s Visual Arts Gallery into a multi-sensory environment which visitors can
freely explore. Through Garg’s artistry, ordinary materials such as paper,
chicken wire, and PVC are morphed into ethereal matter, constantly changing
impressions, and reflecting colored lights. The artist will answer questions
directly from the audience.
