ARTIFICATIONS: Entertainment Limbo: Too Many Eggs; Too Few Baskets.

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.

Entertainment Limbo: Too Many Eggs; Too Few Baskets.

Wow,
So there is a great Jam session ready to go.
Drums, Amps, Speakers, PA equipment and the like just ready to be tapped with a "tap" on the shoulder. This is something that was wildly successful @ Geronimo's in Teaneck for years. I guess I have to remember that this is no Teaneck; I am in Hudson County, where there is mad competition for peoples attention. You can throw a rock and hit an event out here. that is not to say that the market is saturated.

I believe the market here still has room for musical growth. This was the same area that a JC council memebr wanted to make the "Live Music Section" of Jersey City. The little space by Grove street and a little west from the old 111 Arts Building.

I have mad events going on in October, and I am still in limbo with alot of them. this si the downside of putting all my creative eggs in one basket.

I have tons of eggs. I just need more baskets. I will make sure I only put one or two eggs in each basket.
