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.

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.

Outside, there’s a natural earthen-amphitheater with a 20 ft stage, which will be used to showcase acoustic musicians and DJ’s. 

This is an awesome chance to light up the world with love and music, spend time with friends, and contribute to The Ark’s positive message. 

This amazing experience exists no more than an hour outside of NYC, and minutes form New Brunswick, NJ.

Campers are advised to bring their own food for the duration of their stay (i.e. coolers, etc). 

In an effort to keep The Ark clean, campers are required to take all garbage out with them upon leaving. Campsites are required to be left clean and devoid of garbage.
