5.7: Sculptors Guild

published 2025-11-26

Jersey City needs more exhibition space for large works. On this everyone agrees.

Big thinking requires a capacious setting. With no museum to call ours, we're often forced to park large objects in outdoor spaces. It's probably that the size and plenitude of the wall murals created by JCMAP is a reaction to our lack of giant galleries. Anybody who wants to work at great scale in this town is practically forced to take to the streets.
