Event Curator Samantha Benvissuto (SammyB) noted

“This event is simply a way to continue to encour age artists, foster their growth, and connect with the community. We pay all of our artists, making the event cost significantly more than we make, but I believe that art is worth the investment. I can’t expect an artist to take me seriously if I don’t take them seriously, and I want

to make paying artists more of an expected thing. Because I am lucky enough to get this grant from Art House Cares and have a sponsorship with Rec philly, I am in a posi tion to be able to put this event together and join my various art communities as well as give my artists an opportunity.

I can only pay that bless ing forward.” said This program is supported by Art House Cares, a grant program by Art House Productions in Jersey City.

HUDSON HAPPENINGS

Mayor Jimmy Davis announced that the new bell tower for Fitzpatrick Park in Bayonne is expected to arrive in Bayonne on or about Wednesday, October 5. The thirtyfive-ft. tower will be the new home for three bells that used to ring at the former St. Joseph’s Church of Bayonne. The bell tower will be coming from the Verdin Bell Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the bells have been polished, refurbished, and retoned. A fourth bell from the former church will be placed inside City Hall at a later date. Details concerning the fourth bell will be announced after arrangements have been made.

Mayor Davis said, “I am very proud that our

Administration saved the bells of St. Joseph’s Church for future generations of residents to enjoy. They will serve as a memorial to the Slovak immigrants of St. Joseph’s Parish who helped build Bayonne in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.”

The bell tower will arrive in Bayonne on a truck. The tower will be lifted and put in place in Fitzpatrick Park at

the corner of 27th Street and Avenue C. A clock with four faces, one on each side, will be a prominent feature of the tower. The bells will be mounted inside the tower. They will be active bells, capable of making sounds along with music or tolling for the hour. The bells can be programmed to ring at specific times. As Public Works Director Tom Cotter explained, “We will have a clock tower with all the bells and whistles.” After the tower is in its new home, it will be hooked up to the electric line in the park. According to Director Cotter, the electricity will be tested to make sure that the clock and the bells work. He said, “Hopefully, within a few days after its installation, the bell tower

will be ready to use.” If everything is in working order, a dedication ceremony will be held for the tower at Fitzpatrick Park on Tuesday, October 11, at 10:00 a.m.

The bell tower includes a weather vane on its top. This kind of bell tower is placed frequently in town squares and shopping districts across the country.

The bell tower’s location, Fitzpatrick Park, is named after former Mayor Francis G. Fitzpatrick Park, who served as Bayonne’s leader from 1962 to 1974.

RETURN OF NJ’S LARGEST ART TOUR, THE 32ND ANNUAL JERSEY CITY ART & STUDIO TOUR

JCAST 2022 September 29 – October 2

4 days of Interactive Events, Live Performances, Immersive Exhibitions, Artist Demonstrations, Family Activities, Curated Tours, and more!

Mayor Steven M. Fulop announced a record amount of artists participating in the upcoming 32nd annual Jersey City Art & Studio Tour (JCAST) with free in-person experiences for everyone to enjoy, including the return of curated bus and walking tours, interactive events, live paintings, kids activities, music and theatre performances, artist demonstrations, “hidden gem” galleries, and much more!

Starting September 29, the four-day festival is filled with captivating cultural experiences. Over 1,000 artists representing diverse mediums will be on display at more than 140 locations spanning the entire City.

“This year, we’re excited to bring back the fully immersive in-person Art and Studio Tour experience, which has become the region’s premier arts and cultural event,” said Mayor Fulop. “From JCAST to our Arts and Culture Trust Fund grants to attracting key investments that boost our local community and economy, we have seen significant progress through our efforts to revive arts and culture in Jersey City. JCAST is an unprecedented event to further support and showcase our talented local artists and arts organizations.”

JCAST 2022 will also feature a live outdoor community painting project for the first time. The community mural looks

to encourage resident participation alongside more than a dozen professional artists. The mural will help clean, beautify, and enliven a large stretch of St. Paul’s Avenue just off Route 139.

The community mural event will include an interactive stencil area where community members can make various stencils and apply them to the wall. Residents can show up and participate on Saturday, October 1, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 2, 12-5 p.m.

“Since its humble and organic beginnings in 1990, JCAST has become a yearly highlight and important bridge for connecting artists and the wonderful art loving community that is Jersey City!” added Mollie Thonneson from Pro Arts Jersey City.

Mayor Fulop will kick off JCAST 2022 with an opening reception that is free and open to the public 6-9 p.m. on September 29 at JCAST Headquarters in the Marion section of

Jersey City. This event will include pop-up art experiences extending from Dey Street to Newark Avenue, including Canco Park and surrounding storefronts.

The festival will also feature food trucks, live DJs, and original artist merchandise for sale.

“There are so many diverse up-and-coming artists with raw talent that need a platform like JCAST to put the spotlight on their work and talent. For the upcoming Arts and Studio Tour, we are creating a pathway connecting one side of Greenville to the other to allow people to walk through the neighborhood and enjoy works of art created by their neighbors. If successful, we hope to establish a more permanent Greenville Arts Crossroads,” said Melida Rodas, a Multimedia Artist/Poet and JCAST Greenville Organizer. “Our Greenville Headquarters will be at the intersection of McAdoo

and Sterling, where we’re inviting visual artists, poets, musicians, and the like to perform in a talent showcase on October 1st and 2nd.”

For every dollar invested towards boosting arts and culture on the local level, it has proven to yield an average of over $33 in return investments into the community. Additionally, numerous studies have found that the arts amplify the administration’s broader efforts of enhancing residents’ quality of life, fostering community, engaging our youth, benefiting local businesses, and improving mental health.

“Every year, more artists participate in JCAST and bigger crowds attend. We’ve created an interactive experience like no other that spans all areas of Jersey City and offers free guided tours that are free and open to the public. We encourage everyone attending to take advantage of the free bike and walking tours offered on Saturday and Sunday,” said Christine Goodman, Director of Jersey City’s Office of Cultural Affairs.

Discover artists by medium (murals, photography, ceramics, etc.) through our easy-to-search artist profiles on the JCAST website. Additionally, information stations will be easily accessible throughout the City, with locations listed here.

“We believe in the power of the arts to help grow and sustain our communities,” said

Alberto Garofalo, President of Bank of America New Jersey.

“For more than three decades, JCAST has brought businesses and artists together, and we encourage members of the community and beyond to get out and experience Jersey City’s premier cultural event.”

Presented by Bank of America. Special thanks to JCAST Partners: Goldman Sachs, the Jersey City Economic Development Corporation, GFP Real Estate, and the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Travel and Tourism.

JCAST is made possible by Mayor Steven Fulop, the Jersey City Municipal Council, and the Jersey City Office of Cultural Affairs.

MAKING MUSIC BAD SUNS

White Eagle Hall October 22, 2002

was ready to embrace a sound that is more like the first two albums, 2014’s “Language & Perspective” and 2016’s “Disappear Here.”

In one sense, “Apocalypse Whenever,” the current album from Bad Suns, represents a departure for the band.

It marks the first time singer/guitarist and songwriter Christo Bowman has written an album with a central theme and story arc that runs through an entire album.

In the case of “Apocalypse

Whenever,” Bowman crafts a scenario where his character washes up on the beach of a fictional, futuristic Los Angeles. Having nar rowly escaped death, he finds himself flashing back to a variety of key moments in his life, reevaluating his behavior at those times and real izing it’s important to move forward and make the most of the time we have on earth. The flashbacks serve as song vehicles for Bowman to address a host of events and experiences that resonate with his own

life, but get fictionalized in his lyrics, includ ing summer romance (the song “Peachy”), disaffection (“Wishing Fountains”) and exag gerated opinions of self worth (“Life Was Easy When I Only Cared About Me”).

If that’s a new lyri cal approach for Bad Suns, “Apocalypse Whenever” represents a return to more familiar musical and stylistic territory after the band made a stylistic left turn on the 2019 album “Mystic Truth.”

Looking back, Bowman struggles to explain why “Mystic Truth” turned away from the ‘80s-‘90s Brit-pop influences and dancier elements of the first two Bad Suns al bums (think a peppier Cure, Smiths or Happy Mondays, with bits of Elvis Costello mixed in), and instead became more of an organic, oldschool pop/rock album. Coming into “Apocalypse Whenever,” the band

“We felt like we were that band again,” Bowman said in a mid-September phone interview. “I think our third record (“Mystic Truth”), we weren’t so concerned about, we just wanted to do what ever the hell felt right at the moment. I think we wanted to take a break from being ‘that band’ for a minute, frankly. I don’t know why. Maybe we were a little bit worn out at that point and we wanted some freedom. But when it came to making this album, I think we really wanted to be ‘that band’ again. It’s us sort of getting back on course.”
