Art
One of my favorite reason why I love Jersey City so much is the diversity of people this town has and all their artistic creations whether it's art, music, theater, food! Every year I look forward to the Art Crawl, which I compare to as an Adult Tick-or-Treat where you wander gallery to gallery looking a art, sipping some wine, and meeting the brilliant people behind the creations :)
Such a powerful and moving day!!! WOW WORLD!!!! So much love, so much rising-up, so much spirit! I just had to compile all my favorite signs from real-life and social media....b/c damn...people are just REALLY CREATIVE!!! It was literally a feminist art gallery out there!!!
A great little escape in Jersey City took us to Mana Contemporary Museum in this enchanted yet desolate warehouse area. The space combines exhibits and artist residence studios in which you can observe their work of art while they’re creating right next to you. With this being free to the public and a hidden gem, you can roam freely through the vast openness of the multi-floored warehouse.
Portland has a vast assortment of art and sculpture in and around neighboring towns. From pieces of the Berlin Wall, painted murals, and conversational sculptures, there's something for everyone here.
And with treasures untold, you could spend the whole weekend antiquing....just remember to bring the Uhaul :)
....my favorite, bottom right: The silk printed menu for one of the first vessels to arrive in the new country....truly incredible!!!!
One great thing to do in Portland, Maine, while working off all the fabulous eats, is taking a walk on the waterfront in which you're accompanied by a working railroad track offering tours up & down the waterfront. At the end of your journey comes the amazing street art by Portland's finest. Here's a glimpse into the ever evolving wall paint....
OMG with all this 70's inspiration for Spring '16, it makes me want to pull out my Abba Gold and Pure Disco CD's I so beloved in high school! =) Although more boho than disco, I'm ready for a fresh new look...I'm just wishing I saved those flares :/ Here's some ideas I'm working through with laces, crochets, and fringe. What looks are you anticipating?
Ok- where's my graphic design friends at?! I'm in the midst of designing my business cards. Here's my progress so far, with front embossing and gold foil printing on the front and back. Any thoughts? =)
