What a Studio Tour weekend!

Oh the hell with the rain, art fans care nothing for rain, baseball fans care about rain. From what Johnny was able to see downtown, in PAD and around Harsimus Cove the art scene in Jersey City is strong and getting stronger. Make no mistake, the new gallery at Modera and with all the associated artist space (look someone really lives up to their commitment to the Powerhouse ARTS District along with 140 and 150 Bay St., talking to you The One and The Morgan) has already and will continue to bring the focus of art back to the PAD. Johnny was actually privy to a discussion between artists and curators of an idea someone had to create a monthly art walk or studio and gallery art crawl on one Friday a month. Those on hand were also very adamant the city would be kept out of planning and implementation after the Monopoly board debacle (Where is your credibility now city hall?). Great idea and more than likely a better idea to keep the city at arm's length.
