(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- For the 2022 Jersey City Art & Studio Tour (JCAST), the Art House Gallery will open its doors inside Art House Productions’ new permanent performing and visual arts center on the corner of Bay Street and Marin Boulevard in downtown Jersey City. This inaugural exhibit, entitled “Timeless,” showcases work from Jersey City-based artists who have grown with the gallery over several years. It reflects bold, confident, and hard-won self-identity in the artists’ work that endures and speaks directly to Jersey City culture and politics both now and in the past. In essence, the exhibit is a testament to the artists who have helped shape the Art House Gallery through their creativity, character, and practice.
Participating artists include: Beth Achenbach, Ray Arcadio, Gail-Marie Boykewich, Miguel Cardenas, Bojana Coklyat, Beth DiCara, Teri Fiore, Cheryl Gross, Megan Klim, Robert Koch, Patrick McCoy, Winifred McNeill, Vincent Minervini, Amy Neufeld, Lucy Rovetto, Theda Sandiford, Deb Sinha, and Bryant Small.
