I've know the Artist Mustart for some time now, and have posted photographs of his and sometimes written about him and the beautiful murals and artwork he creates. This past week I saw that he was curating an art show clear across the other side of Jersey City that would also have a hip hop dance battle with youth and adults that was part of it, and I made sure to make my way over to see him and enjoy what he was creating in the community on a beautiful still very warm fall afternoon.
The area where he was holding the show and events around it is near where I have visited other Artists in the past who I have written about in these pages before, and this space was new to me so it was an adventure that was filled with memories of when I had first met Artists whose studios and spaces were part of that community, and also some of the long walks I'd taken at different times over the years just for the fun and adventure of exploring.
The Artists who contributed their work to the show were all wonderful, and the dancing battles were impressive. There was beautiful artwork of all kinds all over the walls surrounding the area and t-shirts and jewelry and other designer pieces that added to the inspiration of the beautiful day.
Jersey City is such a gorgeous place, filled with communities like this that know so much that is so uniquely their own. During the day's highlights I kept hearing the Announcer and MC talking about Culture, and how this day's celebration was so beautifully representative of it. I'm so filled with admiration and gratitude and so honored that I know Artists like this who welcome me into their worlds. Being there was a gift and one that I will treasure in memory and reflection always.
