April 13th: Fortoul Presents "The Sum of all Parts" @ The Monroe Center in Hoboken





This is exciting!!!! Very Very Exciting!

The Monroe center is only 3 blocks from my residence in Hoboken, making a great opportunity to impress the administration and possibly arrange for another bigger, better, event.


The Sound provided for the evening will be hosted by Lions Den Sound. DJ Sucio Smash will be spinning sound for the evening. There are only 5 hours to really enjoy this massively visceral experience. There are amazingly clever shirts for sale as well as beautiful art.

The art/design/fashion company Fortoul Presents will have a special exhibition for the Monroe Center’s “Open Studio Day” Sunday, April 13, 2008 from12pm until 5pm.

The show, aptly titled “The Sum of all Parts”, combines Art, Music & Film. The featured artists include: Isaac Fortoul, Heather Gargon, & Bobby Castaneda. The event was organized by Roland Ramos, in the interest of bringing quality art to Hoboken.

Fortoul Presents is headed by two Union City natives. Brothers, Isaac & Gabriel have called Phoenix, AZ, their home for the past 6 years and were instrumental in developing the art scene. The Fortoul brothers have returned to their Jersey roots and are looking forward to duplicating their success. With affiliates in Tokyo and New York, Fortoul Presents are destined for great things.

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.
