Art House Productions, a nonprofit created in the wake of 9/11 to support small artists in and around New Jersey, will host Art Fair 14C in Jersey City Nov.12-14. Hundreds of artists from the New York and New Jersey area will be able to showcase their work in the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary for two days. This will be the third edition of the event allowing more artists to garner exposure, get support for their businesses and meet with fellow artists and admirers.
Creators of Art Fair 14C hold a special place in their heart for New Jersey as the name plays on our common question of, “what exit are you from?” Organizers emphasize that it is not an event in New Jersey, but a program. Founders organized Art Fair 14C and Art House Productions to create a platform for artists and smaller galleries. Their mission is to: expand opportunities for artists, strengthen businesses and programs, increase public access to fine art, and enhance New Jersey’s reputation as an arts destination. Art Fair 14C is the centerpiece of their goal to help upcoming artists.
