OPENING THIS WEEKEND @ DEEP SPACE GALLERY IN JERSEY CITY

Happy Summer to you, Deep Space friends and family!

Come celebrate the start of summer with us *THIS WEEKEND* for our two-day Opening Reception of WALLS TO SMALLS II featuring gallery works by local, regional and international street artists and muralists. This will be our second iteration of this exhibition, the first one taking place back in the winter of 2018.

With the warm weather comes the perfect climate for embellishing walls with artists' personal mark and individual styles. Those who are known so well on the streets aren't necessarily known for their works indoors on gallery walls. This show is an opportunity to take a little piece of what these artists do outside and bring it home with you. It's also a way to support and show appreciation for their public artworks, an endeavor often pursued regardless of compensation. See the power packed artist lineup below ~

As a health and safety precaution, the Opening Reception is a two-day event so that we can accommodate staggered and socially distanced gallery visits* -- the Opening Weekend visiting hours are:

*Saturday, June 26th from 5-10pm*

*Sunday, June 27th from 3-9pm*

RSVP now to reserve your visit time slot via DM on instagram @deepspacejc or via email at deepspacejc@gmail.com. All ages are welcome and four-legged friends, too!!

The exhibiting artists will be on the premises at various points throughout the Opening Reception weekend. Let us know if there is a particular artist who you would like to meet and we can help you schedule an appointment for a corresponding time slot when they will be present.

Our first floor variety shop (downstairs from the gallery) will be hosting our summertime "WEEKENDS AT THE HIVE" pop up market featuring a number of local small business vendors. Guests are invited to check out the market and hunt for great finds from local artisans, makers and object curators!

*Visit time slots are 30 minutes each and there is a maximum of six visitors in the gallery at a time. Masks and social distancing are required. We also encourage regular use of hand sanitizer and hand washing. To those not feeling well: please stay home and get well; we are happy to send you links to view all available works remotely as well as to email you a catalog of works from this show.
