Jersey City Art & Culture

Jersey City Art & Culture The City of Jersey City's Office of Cultural Affairs celebrates & supports the rich cultural heritage of our City.

OCA is a proponent for the arts in Jersey City, providing opportunities, resources, and education for artists of all disciplines. The Jersey City Art & Studio Tour, formerly the Jersey City Artists Studio Tour, is in its 26th year and is the largest cultural event in Jersey City. The JCAST serves to showcase the talents of Jersey City’s diverse and burgeoning artistic community in mediums that span from paintings to performance with an event weekend packed to the brim with celebrations in every corner of Jersey City. The JCAST attracts thousands of visitors from the tri-state area that tour private studios, galleries, local businesses, and pop-up spaces. Artists are provided the opportunity to introduce their work to the community, make connections, and celebrate the arts.

💛 Gold flew over City Hall yesterday with a meaning more valuable than Gold itself.

🎗️For the 8th Annual Copa Maribel Cancer Events, Inc. Flag Raising, families, advocates, and supporters came together to open Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and stand with children and families facing cancer. Copa Maribel’s work extends beyond awareness, helping families manage everyday financial burdens while a loved one undergoes treatment.

❤️ A powerful reminder that no family should have to face the fight alone.
