Local Events in Hoboken and Jersey City, compiled by Barsky Gallery.
Hoboken and Jersey City have a thriving arts scene in spring and fall— art walks, gallery tours, live murals. When things heat up in the summer the art community becomes a little quieter (we like to think it’s focused on their creative process), but there are still plenty of events to look forward to.
We’ve rounded up our favorite art events for July in the area. How many will you attend?
Art Opening at the Biergarten
On July 1 at 7 PM at Pilsener Haus and Biergarten artist Diego Milian Chavez will have an opening reception to his exhibit titled “The Hours Devour Us.” The photographic work dives into time and how we make the most of the hours gifted to us. It will be on display on the beautifully preserved exposed brick walls in the Wintergarten Space. Located at 1422 Grand Street, Hoboken. This is a free event.
Unleash your creativity in a workshop
Every Thursday from 6 to 9 PM Issyra Gallery hosts an “Inspiration Trap” creativity workshop. Located at 300 Observer Highway, Hoboken. $30 on Eventbrite.

On July 9 at 7 PM Hidden Grounds Coffee Roasters is hosting a special Latte Art Workshop at their new coffee roasting facility at 700 Garden Street, Hoboken.
