The origin of "I love my life" came from a discussion I was having with a wonderful girl i know. She told me how difficult life has been recently, and how she just "hates her life sometimes". I told her she needed a new mantra, I said, your new mantra is "I love my life". Say it till it says you. I took a moment to write it on my wall in orange paint for posterity.

  • Please email a picture (JPG/GIF) of the submission piece to ilovemylife91909@gmail.com

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.
