Art Culture and Community Forum 2010: Weds May 19th, 2010



Proactive change is the name of the game.

This year's forum will bring together artists, gallerists and arts administrators to discuss the complex questions of who artists are within the social structure of a community, how can they solidify their standing amongst that community and what methods they've employed to effect change.

After each of the panelists a brief overview of their practices and community involvement, the forum will be open for a moderated discussion with audience members.

The Primary objective of the Art, Culture and Community Forum is to unify the community of cultural producers in Hoboken and help them find their strength and their voice.

Moderator Craig Wallace Dale will lead a panel discussion of artists who have found their voices and created change and opportunity in their community.

Participating Panelists include:

Meredith Lippman:
Program development specialist at Hudson County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs.

Tara Thurber:
Curator at Paul Vincent Studios and Gallery in Hoboken.

Uta Brauser:
Founder of "Creative Grove Artist Market" and "Fish with Braids" Art Gallery in Jersey City.

Tim Daly:

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.
