NJ, New Brunswick: May 15, 2010 - Spring Jam 2k10

In 2007, Albus Cavus began a dialogue with the City of New Brunswick which resulted in the creation of the Raritan River Art Walk, originally a mile long recreational trail along the Raritan River stretching from the Rt. 27 bridge to Buccleuch Park which now hosts the East Coast’s longest mural wall. Since its inception, annual events have been held at the Art Walk and Deiner Park in New Brunswick to showcase local performing and visual artists and give artists the opportunity to paint a mural at the Raritan River Art Walk.

After the success of last year’s Streets 2k9 and Monster Jam 2k9 events, a coalition of local arts organizations has decided to present a series of events blending visual and performing arts, education and community throughout the summer and fall, starting with Spring Jam 2k10 on Saturday, May 15, 2010 from noon-6 PM (raindate: Saturday, May 22, 2010).

Spring Jam 2k10 attendees are encouraged to pack lunches and bring a blanket, the schedule of activities is continual throughout the day so come prepared to learn, create, move and groove. With a full mile of live and interactive mural painting and workshops on topics including DJing, the stages of a mural, instrument making, dance and drumming, yoga, and poetry, dozens of family activity tables and a sidewalk chalk off, and performances by the Raíces Cultural Center Ensemble, A.A.C.E*A. Warriors (African American Cultural Experience Association Ensemble), The Band Called Fuse, Verbal Mayhem, Silent Knight, DJ Iron Mike and more, people of all ages will find themselves engaged and active.

Current sponsors (including supply donors) include IZZE sparkling juice, Utrecht Art Supplies, Color & Co and Liquitex.
