Ana Nunez: Saturday March 21st, 2009 7:30pm

NJ Based artist Ana Nunez will feature her art @ the Closing event for RAW. 

Ana's work will be featured in the Green room of tonight's exhibition. Her work provides a touching counterpoint to the art of Danielle Scott. 

While most of the exhibition deals with RAW human emotion, the subtle complexities of Ana's work provide a warm tone.

Email me @ Roland.ramos77@gmail.com for more information regarding the show.

The OTHER JAM Session: Searching for Featured Artists.

We want YOU to be the featured act at an upcoming OTHER JAM Session. (Not a paid gig, for promotion & CD sales only) ~~//~~We are open to all live musical genres.~~//~~ (Poets are welcome) Please send your links with pertinent contact info (Name, Phone number, ...etc) If we like the music, then we will contact you. The OTHER JAM takes place on Wednesday nights @ Shades Lounge in Hoboken, NJ. (Part of the Monroe Center @ 720 Monroe St.~ just off the 9th Street Light Rail Stop from the Hoboken Terminal. 13 min. walk from PATH station). We are the amalgamation on two awesome NJ Jam Sessions, The Underpass, in Elwood Park & Geronimo's Jam Session in Teaneck, NJ. This combination has resulted in one powerful jam emulating the forward progress of the The Stone, of NYC & the old Wetlands in Manhattan.

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.
