The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is holding a suicide prevention walk (Hudson River Walk) on Sunday, October 13th at 12 noon. The FREE 3-mile walk begins near the Exchange Place PATH station at the J. Grundy Pier.

It’s free to register and you don’t have to donate or fund-raise unless you feel like it. Please register here. You can also register in-person at the walk on Sunday.

If you can’t make it but would like to donate, please do that here. The funds raised at this event are utilized to help raise awareness and bring us closer to a world without suicide.

Please join me, as this is a cause close to my heart.

 

Let’s save some lives!

Jersey City Artist’s Studio Tour: 10/5 & 10/6

categories: Art, Events, Neighborhood, Outdoor Fun!, This Weekend in Jersey City

This weekend marks one of the most fabulous (one of my favorite) weekends in Jersey City—that of the Artists Studio Tour. Residents of Jersey City are invited to the homes/studios of Jersey City artists. You’ll view their work, chat with them and can purchase snappy new pieces to adorn your walls and tables.

It’s the weekend my Mom buys another Jesus or Mary silk-screened piece from Shawn Michael Lang (the artist of the above), my Aunt Jennifer takes me to Grigory Gurevich’s house and Barrow St. Mansion, and my boyfriend or best friend and I get separated at 150 Bay in different studio apartments. (I will be checking out James Fraser this year.) Check 150 Bay Street’s flier here.

The kick-off party is on Friday, October 4th at the Tenmarc Building. Shuttles will run from the Grove Street PATH starting at 5:30pm.

Follow the studio artists tour on FB here for full info.

Cheers,
JCG
