Art House Productions Unveils In The Wind
A Large-Scale Public Art Installation at Lincoln Park, Jersey City
(Jersey City, NJ — May 7, 2026) — Art House Productions (Executive Artistic Director Meredith Burns) proudly announces In The Wind, a large-scale public art installation transforming Lincoln Park in Jersey City with artist-designed flags featuring original work by Hudson County artists. Presented in celebration of the organization’s 25th anniversary, the exhibition highlights the depth and diversity of Hudson County’s creative community.
Curated by Tina Maneca, In The Wind showcases original works by artists who live, work, or maintain studios in Hudson County. Installed around Edgewood Lake, the works are presented on flags that move with the wind, creating a dynamic, ever-changing exhibition shaped by light, motion, and the natural landscape. All flags are priced at $500 and will be available for purchase throughout the run of the installation.
In The Wind will be on view at Lincoln Park (1 County Rd 605, Jersey City, NJ) from June through November 2026. The opening will take place during ACCESS JC Fridays on June 5, 2026, with a reception at The View from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. For more information, visit jcfridays.com.
This project is supported by funding through the NJEDA’s A.R.T. – Phase II Grant Program, the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, and the Hudson County Parks Department.

Meredith Burns, Executive Artistic Director, states:
“This is an incredibly exciting project made possible through the support of the NJEDA A.R.T. – Phase II Grant Program. Hudson County is home to an extraordinary range of talented and diverse artists, and it’s an honor to present their work for the public to experience throughout the summer and fall.
It’s rare to have this level of support—from the county, from state and federal funding, and from our own team—to realize a project of this scale. We don’t take that for granted. This installation reflects the dedication of our board, staff, and community, who make ambitious projects like this possible.”
Tina Maneca, Curator Statement:
“Public art brings tremendous cultural, social, and economic benefits to communities. It enhances neighborhood identity, beautifies public spaces, and sparks conversation, encouraging reflection and connection among residents. By making art accessible to everyone, installations like this contribute to public health and well-being, offering moments of inspiration and joy.
As a West Side resident, it is a privilege to curate a new installation in Lincoln Park. This project highlights a diverse group of Hudson County artists whose work reflects a wide range of mediums and perspectives. Beyond decoration, public art supports local artists and transforms familiar spaces into vibrant cultural destinations for all.”
