NOW EXTENDED at the Italian Educational & Cultural Center between August 22nd and November 1st, 2026 is ‘MOONSCAPES’ - an exhibition featuring the captivating work of long time Jersey City artist Peter Delman.

Poets describe the moon as “envious” and a “ghostly galleon”. The physical features of the moon have persisted throughout human history - same as it ever was. Yet it has inspired fantastical myths and wildly creative interpretations in all cultures. These paintings draw energy from the richness of both physical and metaphysical sources.

Catch Peter in residence this weekend within our gallery, on October 3rd and 4th, from 10:00AM - 3:00PM and 10:00AM - 4:00PM respectively, during the run of the Jersey City Art & Studio Tour.

Come meet the man himself while you’re ambling about JC’s premier list of art spaces this season! And join us as we meander into these late autumn afternoons with a dreamy disposition, showcasing a series of artworks bringing both a spark of magic and celestial ruminations to the months ahead. 💫
