ABOUT THE JERSEY CITY POETRY FESTIVAL
This six-day celebration of the written and spoken word is scheduled to take place during National Poetry Month, from April 25 to April 30, 2019 and will be a city-wide event open to the public with a variety of scheduled readings, performances, open mic, workshops and panels. The focus of the Jersey City Poetry Festival is to bring attention to the thriving Arts community in Jersey City, and New Jersey. The fundamentals of Literary Arts are part of educational, social and developmental aspects of our society. To be able to expand on the essentials in a fun, educational and community driven festival is a groundbreaking effort by the Jersey City Arts Council Literary Arts Committee that is possible with the contributions and involvement of community, venue, literary arts organizations and business partners.
This program is made possible by a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a division of the Department of State, and administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Thomas A. DeGise, Hudson County Executive & the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
