Hoboken Will Once Again Be Transformed Into a Community-Wide Public Art Gallery
From May 1st through June 15th the Hoboken Business Alliance will present the largest outdoor art exhibit in our region with the help of the city’s vibrant business community. Storefront windows will be transformed with works from local artists on display. A quick scan of an accompanying QR code will provide residents and visitors with a detailed map of participating storefronts as well as more information on the artists and their work.
“Hoboken has long been known as a city that celebrates its artists and there is no better way to do that than to make their work more accessible to as large an audience as possible. Through the Windows effectively turns every participating business into a gallery space and will once again encourage residents and visitors alike to experience all that our City has to offer.”
–Roxanne Earley, Executive Director of the Hoboken Business Alliance

Last year, more than 75 local businesses participated, and the work of over 50 artists was displayed in their storefronts. The Art Walk was well received by patrons, who scanned the “through the Windows” QR code nearly 5,000 times. In addition to the artists’ work receiving wide exposure, 20 pieces were sold through the event.
The program encourages participants to explore local businesses, bars and restaurants while walking throughout the city and enjoying the artwork. Businesses that hosted pieces in 2022 saw a positive response and importantly, increased foot traffic and engagement with new potential customers.
