Everything is coming up Digable

The flyers have come in and everyone has a game plan relating to the festival. Yesterday a number of flyers were distributed to participating artists and more need to be dolloped out in healthy portions.

My idea is to plan a list of popular Art openings in NYC/BKLN and NJ and set up people to hit up each one with flyers. This way, coverage would be most certain, and I would not be the only one making the rounds to different art galleries.

My primary concern is the JAM 4 ART. We need help raising money to support his event. I even started planning a few house parties in order to raise additional funds to defray the cost of the rental and advertising costs. All I need are peoples houses in which to throw these parties.

MAggie from Sage Productions mad this awesome video Regarding the Digable Arts Festival, and I hope you enjoy it.

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.
