Over 120 Galleries And Artists To Be Showcased In Jersey City-Based Art Fair 14C

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Over 120 galleries and artists will be on display next month in Jersey City as part of the third annual Art Fair 14C. The art fair will showcase dozens of local artists as well as regional and international artists.

From Nov. 12-14, over 120 regional and international artists and galleries will be set up in the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary. Art Fair 14C was created in 2018 to provide local and area artists and arts organizations with the international art fair experience that is now crucial to making a living in the arts.

Art Fair 14C has become the largest visual arts event on the New Jersey calendar. After two years on the Jersey City waterfront at the Hyatt Regency, Art Fair 14C is now in the 40,000 square-foot Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary.

Art Fair 14C brands itself as more inclusive to local artists, offering lower participation costs, targeted community outreach, and accessible application process. Art Fair 14C will once again feature The Juried Show, showcasing 40 New Jersey artists, with almost half from Jersey City. Artists selected to The Juried Show are given a central showcase during Art Fair 14C, and offered further exhibition opportunities throughout the year. The judges for the 2021 Juried Show include Ronni Anderson (Anderson Contemporary), Diana Burroughs (Marlborough Gallery), and Krista Scenna (Ground Floor Gallery).

“After Hours,” a new feature at the fair, will take place on November 12 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Patrons looking for a fun Friday night out will enjoy music from a DJ, mingling with other arts lovers, and wandering the fair at a reduced ticket price. Food trucks and a cash bar will be available. After Hours tickets are $15.

Art Fair 14C will implement all applicable COVID-19 safety procedures recommended by the CDC and New Jersey Department of Health. Safety measures will include mandatory vaccination for all exhibitors, artists, staff, and attendees, mandatory face masks, and sanitation stations throughout the venue. All attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination at the door. Day Passes range from $10-$30.

“The visual arts need to be seen – that’s why it was so important to us to have an in-person fair in 2021, and there’s no better venue we can imagine than the Glass Gallery at Mana Contemporary,” says Robinson Holloway, founder and director of Art Fair 14C.
