Call for Artists - Jersey City Street Art Initiative

The Jersey City Redevelopment Agency and the Jersey City Division of Cultural Affairs seek experienced Street Artists / Muralists for a city-wide public art project.

Artists chosen to create work for the Jersey City Street Art Initiative will be eligible for funding to help cover material costs of paint, stencils, etc.

The first Jersey City Street Art Initiative project wall is located on Route 139, between Baldwin Avenue & Oakland Avenue, directly across from the General Pencil Factory building. The wall is approximately 1 block long, and is divided into 12 foot long / 8 foot tall sections. The wall has a rough, grainy surface.

Artists with work already on the Route 139 wall include Australian street artist Kid Zoom(www.kid-zoom.com).
