Neumann Leathers Open Studios
Sunday, May 18
1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
The public is invited to see the thriving arts community that still exists at Neumann, which is currently threatened by new development—development that will completely destroy one of the city’s last artistic and historic arts complexes. Extraordinary efforts are inplace to ensure the continuation of this wonderful Hoboken legacy, which will not only preserve some existing structures, but also creates new ones. The current “Piazza Plan,” which has been presented by the NLTA, will also create public space that will benefit all Hoboken citizens.
LIVE PERFORMANCES A musical program will be taking place at Chapeau Antiques on the 4th Floor.
1pm - 4:30pm
Jazz music (open stage, there are two Steinways available)
5pm - 7pm:
Concert
Matt Gruenberg (a tenant in the building) will be performing with his band, Jeremy Wallace
GUIDED TOUR In
addition to the 50 plus artists inthe complex, we will also have a
GUIDED TOUR OF “INDUSTRY” AT NEUMANN – a one-hour sampling of the
non-artist small businesses which actually occupy the majority of
space. There are 30 of them, ranging from startup internet companies,
custom furniture makers and antique restorers, an architectural model
maker, machinists and welders, architects, and a nationally prominent
television studio builder (to mention a few). Together they represent
the shift from the old “light industry” uses to a more technology,
design, and artisanal base which thrives in the New York regional
market.
THE TOUR STARTS AT 3:00 PM at 321 Newark St., 2ndfloor.
A model of the site which illustrates our “piazza” concept will be
ondisplay. We will end with a glass of wine and some musical
entertainment.
SHARE YOUR STORY In
addition, the public is invited to come and share their memories,
opinions and feelings about Neumann, which will be documented
throughout the day, by filmmaker Mark Gasper in his studio on the fourth floor.
In particular, anyone who has ever worked at Neumann—whether as artist,
artisan, entrepreneur or employee—during its long history is urged to
come and tell their story. All are welcome.
