March 6, 2026 JC Fridays Event Submission Form

  • JC Fridays Event Submission Form

    Host an arts event on the next JC Fridays on March 6th, 2026! Take part in the quarterly festival that has been celebrating Jersey City artists and bringing in new audiences since 2006.

  • JC Fridays Is Back—And Bigger Than Ever in 2026!

    In 2026, JC Fridays is expanding thanks to a significant grant from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) A.R.T. Program and we’re celebrating JC Fridays’ 20th Anniversary!

    To kick off the year, March 2026 will feature a bold new initiative: Video Art Trucks curated by Art House Productions. These mobile screens will travel to every nook and cranny of Jersey City bringing art directly to the people. We are currently accepting submissions from video artists through the end of this month, and we’d love your help spreading the word to artists who work in video and moving image.

    Throughout 2026, JC Fridays will also benefit from a significantly increased marketing budget, including:

    • Multiple billboards promoting JC Fridays events and venues
    • Expanded printed brochures
    • The official JC Fridays poster image displayed on the Video Art Trucks in March
    • Enhanced digital promotion across our website, maps, social media, and press outreach

    JC Fridays in 2026 will reach more audiences, in more places, than ever before. Now is the time to get involved and plan your programs around JC Fridays throughout the year.
