JERSEY FIX - An Addiction to Newark and the Art World

"Jersey Fix" is an exhibition of 10 artists from and around the Newark and New Jersey Area. The art work on display consists of a variety of pieces on canvas, works on paper and mixed media.

"Jersey Fix" deals with the idea of being addicted to New Jersey and also having an obsession with the Arts. The atmosphere of the exhibition surrounds the viewer with our artists' most inner compulsions to create art.

Artists such as Jack Anderson, Michelle D. Farrera, Amanda LaMarco, Anibal Padilla, & Angela Silleti display works that reveal emotions, thoughts, dreams, and nightmares. Their works try to solve the need to identify as artists, and at the same time express their desire to explain a particular thought.

"Jersey Fix" will be on display as a part of the Newark Arts Council's Open Doors Studio and Gallery Tours. Hosted at 33 Washington Street in Newark NJ, the event will run from October 23- 25, 2009.
