JERSEY CITY AND BEYOND — This weekend, Oct. 1-2, is the Jersey City Artists Studio Tour, a free weekend in which artists and performers around Jersey City open their studios to thousands of visitors. The tour runs each day from noon to 6 p.m.
A pullout section with a map of the tour locations and exhibit listings appears in last weekend’s Jersey City Reporter. The tour is presented by the City of Jersey City division of Cultural Affairs and the arts organization Pro Arts, and is sponsored by entities that include The Hudson Reporter newspaper group.
Free studio tour bus service will shuttle visitors to and from major tour sites. Provided by Pro Arts, a shuttle service bus with tour guides will be available to select venues. Easily accessible, most tour venues are within walking distance of the NY/NJ PATH, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, or jitney bus services.
A free wheelchair-accessible guided tour is also available to select wheelchair accessible venues over the tour weekend provided by Hudson County Transcend. All persons wishing to take this guided tour were expected to make advanced reservations by Sept. 30. For details, call 201-736-7057.
