The Powerhouse Arts District (PAD) is not the cultural jewel of downtown Jersey City, but an underused stack of bricks. Studio 371, the neighborhood?s newest gallery, may change this dismal fact. With more than 3,500 square feet, lots of natural light and minimalist aesthetics, the venue is ideal for a range of artwork. To date, the gallery has hosted three exhibitions, artist portfolio review day, and film festival. We sat down with Stephanie Panepinto and Kara Rooney, the brain trust behind the gallery, as they made some final preparations for its next show Arc-Types and Well-Rounded Characters, which opens Friday, May 4.
