Museum gallery hours: Thursday & Friday 11 AM to 2 PM Saturdays 4 PM to 7 PM Sundays 1 to 4 PM Mon.- Wed. By appointment only . A Multimedia Exhibition with artists: . Ray Arcadio Christy E. O’Connor - @christyoconnorart Fabricio Suarez - @fsuarezart . JC FRIDAY Participant September 12th | 6 - 9 PM Special performance by Christy E. O’Connor in the park (corner of Washington and Grand Streets, next to MORA) time TBD . Featuring Christy E. O’Conner’s Installation and short film debut She Is Not A House. . There will also be a special performance by Christy on opening day. Time TBD . Exhibition Theme . The curatorial inspiration for the show was influenced by the Micro Historian Carlo Ginsberg, and his book The Cheese and the Worms. I have chosen artists that , in my mind, are connected through their visual storytelling. Each artist has a distinct style that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of Western fine arts. Their creations speak a unique visual language, one that not only portrays but also questions familiar archetypes, pop culture, classic landscapes, and portraiture. . Although their work often embraces surreal elements, it consistently presents vivid characters and settings that seem tangible, as if they might inhabit the real world. This blend of imagination and reality invites viewers to explore familiar themes through fresh, thought-provoking perspectives. . #artexhibitions #arcadiosmessenger #rayarcadio #jerseycityart #newjerseyart #artshow #artopening #jerseycityartist #dominicanartist #kingofmasks

The Gunhead series (1992-2018).. I created the Gunheads to highlight the violent nature that resides in us and how we resort to it in order to resolve all types of conflicts. Guns are the creative output of this human trait and it’s a perfect representation of it’s brutality. . The first image “Gunhead Police” and the last one “Gunhead General” were created collaboratively as a member of Artfux.. the pioneering street art group of the 1990s. . . . #gunhead #rayarcadio #ice #venezuela #america
