JERSEY CITY -- Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham will host the kick-off party for the

at 280 Grove Street.
The opening festivities will include presentations by local artists, organized through an
artists collective, The Waterbug Hotel.
The Waterbug Hotel is a Jersey City-based collective of artists and supporters whose
primary focus is to help the community evolve culturally and to celebrate the arts. The

New Jersey and New York City area.
The evening will feature live music - including African percussion - spoken word, live
hip-hop, a fashion show, and hair art.
"This is a great way to celebrate both the contributions of women during Women's
History Month and to acknowledge the important role art plays in our lives,"
Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham said. "I encourage everyone to come and view the art work
exhibited in City Hall now and during future exhibits."
The artists displaying work during Women's History Month are Elaine Hansen, Minako
