in Jersey City
Two Floors of Art and Hundreds of Art Loving
Guests Attended
By Sally Deering
Imagine a high-end hotel
transformed into an art gallery with mobiles hanging in entranceways, sculptures
grouped on end tables, and paintings draped on easels made of bed pillows.
Creativity and artistry practically bounced off the walls at the Hyatt Regency
in Jersey City, last weekend, when artists exhibited their works, and networked
with other artists and art-lovers.
On
Friday March 15 and running through Sunday, March 17, the Hyatt Regency on the Jersey
City waterfront was where 50 galleries booked rooms on two floors of the hotel,
hung original art on the walls and flung open the doors to art-lovers. Guests
had the opportunity to roam the hotel’s 8th & 9th
floor and visit the galleries that exhibited some terrific paintings,
sculpture, mixed-media and more in their respective hotel rooms.

of Pro Arts in Jersey City, including president Mollie Thonneson, showed their
work including Thonneson’s colorful hanging sculptures that fluttered
gracefully when someone walked by.
