IN THE WIND: Art House Productions

7 AM – 10 PM
Art House Productions presents the largest public art initiative in Hudson County history: In The Wind, transforming Lincoln Park in Jersey City with artist-designed flags featuring original work by Hudson County artists. Presented in celebration of the organization's 25th anniversary, the exhibition highlights the depth and diversity of Hudson County's creative community. Curated by Tina Maneca, In The Wind showcases original works by artists who live, work, or maintain studios in Hudson County. Installed around Edgewood Lake, the works are presented on flags that move with the wind, creating a dynamic, ever-changing exhibition shaped by light, motion, and the natural landscape. All flags are priced at $500 and will be available for purchase throughout the run of the installation. The opening will take place during ACCESS JC Fridays on June 5, 2026, with a reception at The View from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

JOURNAL SQUARE
HANDLE WITH CARE: EONTA SPACE
34 Dekalb Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07306
5 PM – 9 PM
EONTA SPACE's Spring 2026 exhibition is ‘Handle with Care', a group show that explores the nature of fragility, in materials, society and culture. Glass shatters, ceramics break, miniatures are fragile and thread snags, snaps and unravels. Material use reflects the risks involved in creating art. The inherent nature of the materials determine the parameters under which the art is formed. In the same way, the choices made by society to use materials, natural resources and energy determine the limitations, risks and outcomes of using those same elements.

Liberti Lab is a Jersey City design studio and innovation lab specializing in product development, custom commercial parts, and large-format 3D printing. For JC Fridays, the studio at 98 Forrest St opens its doors alongside newly-launched sister brand ORIGEN — a sustainable product line of art, lighting, and home objects made from recycled water bottles processed into 3D-printer filament right in the workshop. Visitors will see Liberti Lab's 800mm-bed 3D printer running a real client job for the full three hours, and a "bring a broken part" station where guests can hand over a broken hinge, fitting, hardware piece, or antique fragment and watch the team scope a remake on the spot. Across the space, ORIGEN debuts with the filament recycler running live on the hour, the flagship sculptural piece Lightform 01: Perseverance on display, the From Bottle to Board exhibit featuring a custom surfboard made from recycled water bottles, and TAC TILES — generative tactile art objects. The space is wheelchair accessible. Large-print process guides are available throughout. All ages, all questions welcome.
