Join the excitement of JC Fridays, where the city comes alive with art! On December 6th, businesses, galleries, bars, and creative spaces across Jersey City will welcome the public for an unforgettable evening of art, culture, and connection. It’s a unique opportunity to showcase artwork, music, performances, and creative happenings to a diverse audience of residents and visitors alike.
