Creative Placemaking in Jersey City through Visual and Performing Arts
November 25, 2011
Since 2009, the CASID has installed approximately eighteen pieces of public art transforming our main street into an outdoor art gallery. Local artists have applied art to seven traffic boxes, seven CCTV camera poles, and three wall spaces that have been very well received by the community. With such a rich artistic tradition in Hudson County we are eager to do more to become the region’s newest public art destination. Click on the links below to learn more about how creative placemaking has begun to create new vibrancy in Jersey City through visual and performing arts.
