The Chemicals Between Us


This is my first post on an official blog that will chart the changes being made for the upcoming show @ 4th & Jackson. The show is set to take place on Saturday, May 31st. Laura Desantis-Olson, photographer, will be the
featured artist. The show's focus will be on bringing Laura's special brand
of art to the masses. Along with other talents we hope to have present,
this promises to be a creative and entertaining event for all.

Laura is an amazing photographer. She has garnered much interest over the
years through her thoughtful portraiture and live show photography. For
examples of her work, please visit www.ldophoto.net.

At 4th & Jackson, the walls are currently being used to house art that was
left from The Hudson County Art SLAM on March 7th. Friends will be invited
sometime soon to assist in the spackling and spot painting that comes with
the change over between shows.

This is an exciting time with many creative decisions yet to be made on
conducting the time-flow of the space.

Some of these decisions include:
  • How many artists to host during each show?
  • How often do the shows revolve?
  • What kind of intermission is there between shows?
  • Who creates the flyer?
  • Where is the room for growth?

That's just off the top of the dome. I'm excited to have art present in my
life to this degree.

To be surrounded by art at all times is a blessing. There is so much talent
here. THANK YOU FOR BEING OPEN TO THE EXPERIENCE.

Yay blogs!

What is Artifications???

Artification’s mandate is to bring culture to Hoboken residents in the form of music, quality art, theatre, dance and performance art. In this wonderful city, there is a stunning shortage of art. Artification works with the Monroe center to bring visibility to Hoboken artists while also inviting quality artists to display their art in Hoboken.

American cities undergoing gentrification unknowingly marginalize artists. Through steep rents and a stifling lack of gallery space, artists are forced to look elsewhere for reasonable work and display spaces. In Hoboken, a city that embodies gentrification, Artification is working to reverse that trend, and bring art back to the Mile Square City.

We need your help to do this.
