Art Wall JC Exhibition + Artist Q&A: A Memorable Conclusion to the Inaugural Powerhouse Pub Crawl!
As a memorable conclusion to our successful inaugural Powerhouse Pub Crawl fundraising event on Saturday, May 30, 2026, Art Wall JC held a special Powerhouse-themed exhibition in its boutique gallery space at Coolvines Powerhouse, the final stop on the crawl. Organized by Art Wall JC curator Kati Vilim, the event featured stunning Powerhouse visions by Jersey City-based artist Loura van der Meule, who also presented the crowd with an enlightening Q&A. We are incredibly indebted to the artist, Art Wall JC, Coolvines Powerhouse, and the Powerhouse Arts District Neighborhood Association for making this awesome Powerhouse event happen! More Powerhouse-inspired visions by local artists will be coming later in 2026!
