The Jersey City Arts Awards recognize the creative artists and
organizations at the forefront of our community. Each year, JCAC selects local artists from a wide range of categories that have
done exceptional work through their medium and had an outsized impact on Jersey City. And we use this chance to throw a big ol' party!!! Come out and celebrate the arts with some food, drink, and plenty of creative spirit!
