A Project Greenville group art show...downtown
From Elizabeth Deegan at Project Greenville:
Yes, it's true, surreal as it still seems...I have been invited by Pro Arts Jersey City to host a show at the ART150 Gallery on the second floor of 150 Bay Street; and I'm bringing Greenville with me!
Despite the location the focus will remain on Greenville and Project Greenville as the show features artists who live, work, grew up in--or have significant ties to--the Greenville area as well as those who have been long-time supporters and participants of Project Greenville. These artists have been contributing to art accessibility for the Greenville area for years, whether via participating with us or in their own endeavours and it's my pleasure to try to share this opportunity with them :)
I hope in a tiny way this show can act as a small bridge between neighborhoods--the same way that I started Project Greenville with the two main goals that it would A. Give people in Greenville the opportunity to see art but it would also B. Cause people who didn't know Greenville well to visit and explore beyond some of the more sensationalized headlines, I hope this show might help folks in Greenville come visit something that might happen to be downtown but actually has them in mind (and heart) and welcomes them--as a key part of the participants and audience--to come and explore an area they may feel detached from that's every bit a part of their city and theirs to enjoy too. I hope you will join us for this very special show happening January 7th-January 28th (opening January 7th from 5pm-8pm and then 1pm-4pm each Saturday and Sunday) at 150 Bay Street (entrance is on the corner of Provost & First, which I know is confusing...) 2nd floor.
As always the budget is small but our heart is big, please do your part to share this event with friends and family who might enjoy coming to check it out!
