264 Fairmount Space hostsExhibit of Paintings byUptown Artist Joe Gilmore forJersey City Artist Studio Tour...party to follow!

Since visiting West Africa in January 2010, African-American UPtown Artist Joe Gilmore has created a moving, evocative body of work depicting his ancestors in all of their dignified finery, a condition he believes they might never have been viewed in during their lifetimes.

"My Ancestors Were Beautiful" is a loving tribute to the artist's progenitors, and perhaps ours too.

Open for Jersey City Artist Studio Tour, Saturday and Sunday, October 2 and 3, 2010, from 12 noon to 6 pm.

Come see this beautiful collection in the vaulted front room of
264 Fairmount Space, a home for unexpected and inspirational experiences.

On Saturday evening, October 2, Uptown Crew will host a

Dancing On the Head of a Pin PARTY

to celebrate the arts and community in McGinley Square,

and in your neighborhood too.
