"LOCAL WORKS" Friday October 17th @ Shades in Hoboken

YEAH, WE'RE BACK!!!!!!

"Local Works" art opening takes place at Shades in Hoboken, and asks 5$ suggested donation to continue Artifications endevours. Dress to impress. Plenty of parking in the back. Shades is just steps from the 9th street light rail stop in Hoboken.


"Local Works" Is an art show dedicated to the artistic creations by two notable local artists, Hank Yaghooti, and Will Suarez.

Their artistic styles blend colors and styles in a unique way that is a treat all of Hoboken is bound to enjoy.

Hank Yaghooti is very active in the arts, and works mainly through his website www.isitandthink.com. in addition to being a talented artist, Hank has proven himself as a talented musician, playing with the band Bonbomb.

Will Suarez, a local educator caught my attention with his business card. the unique design incorporated a variety of mediums, while maintaining simplicity. Through the years, Will has continued his work in the arts. A smattering of his talent can be viewed on his website.

Musical events include live performances by local Favorites, Cecilia Celeste (Acoustic rock), and Outstanding reggae rockers Hyphen-One and Daylow (Organic hip-hop, reggae).

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.
