The City of Hoboken is proud to announce the 27th Annual
Hoboken Artists Studio Tour. Even though there are 40 sites
on the tour, we have designed the tour so that you can walk
from one studio or exhibition to the next or take the free
shuttle bus, which will be conveniently stopping at 6 or
7 locations around the mile-square city, including City
Hall, the PATH station, the Neumann Leather Building, Hoboken
Historical Museum and 720 Monroe Street Arts Center. Tour
maps and guides will be available on the day of the tour
at City Hall, 94 Washington St. between 11:00 AM and 6:00
PM. or pick one up in advance as an insert in the Hoboken
Reporter and Hudson Current Newspapers the week before.
As diverse as the art itself, the tour’s popularity
draws artists from far beyond the banks of Hoboken. From
the shores of international waters to our own metropolitan
area, you will find over 100 artists and art forms representing
an exciting variety of media and design.
Visitors will have a chance to meet the artists, photographers,
sculptors and artisans in their own studios, where they
can witness the creative process at work.
Mediums range from classical figurative realism and abstract
expressionism to welded steel sculptures and photographic
computer generated mandalas; oil paintings, watercolors
and acylics; pottery, quilts and paintings on silk. Some
of the featured artists this year
include: Tim Daly (lyrical realistic landscapes), Carlos
Page (metal sculture & furniture) and Frank Hanavan
(acrylic painter - best known for beautiful landscapes of
Hoboken) and much more.
This year we are happy to welcome the support of Larry Bijou
& Bijou Properties. Bijou Properties has launched a
campaign to fund the arts in Hoboken. Larry believe’s
that the arts community is among one of the key elements
that helped change the course of Hoboken’s history.
It was a primary reason for it’s Renaissance.
Larry believes that the arts must be sustained in Hoboken,
ergo his sponsorship of the HAST and other events this season.
This exhibit as well as The Hoboken Artists Studio Tour
is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State
Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency
of the National Endowment for the the Arts, administered
by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism
Development and by the County of Hudson, Thomas A. DeGise,
County Executive, and the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
We recommend public transportation. Hoboken is accessible
by PATH, NJ Transit Trains & Buses, Hudson Bergen Lightrail
and NY Waterway Ferries.
