Innovative Public Art Project Jump Starts
The Jersey City Artists Studio Tour
Brooklyn, NY, September 14, 2011- The City Love Project (CLP) is a free interactive public art show coming to the streets of Jersey City September 23rd, 2011. CLP will be present at three locations including Journal Square, McGinley Square, and Grove St. at varied times throughout the day.
CLP invites anyone and everyone to paint what you think your city loves. It is composed of several mediums including a prepared 6’x12’ canvas, photo backdrop and musical accompaniment. The canvas is prepared with a rearranged
‘I ♥ JC’, to read ‘JC ♥ __’, to visually propose CLP’s question, “What Does Your City Love?”
Using black and red paint, the canvas transforms into a living portrait of the city through the eyes of the people. After they paint, each participant is photographed.
CLP enables everyone and anyone to freely express themselves, as well as break down barriers between all classes and ethnicities of people through participatory art.
Participants are able to continue their participation with CLP virtually through video, social media and still photography, creating multi-channel connections.
CLP Jersey City is being made possible by the generous support of local donors and the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency to help promote The Jersey City Artists Studio Tour October 1st & 2nd Noon-6pm.
The final works will be displayed in City Hall and auctioned to raise funds for a One City, which donates and distributes to local food banks in Jersey City.
