Egyptian born-Jersey City local, Martina Hanna, has been selected by the Panelist Board of ART AT NIGHT to produce a 6 hour long consecutive art performance at Surf City.
Art at Night offers not only a space in which artists can take conceptual risks to explore ideas of expression, process & endurance while investigating the meaning of a relationship with an audience all the while sharing a new way to experience urban night life.
With Ms. Hanna at the forefront of generating reactive projects, this event has the possibility to turn into an explosion of art and nightlife culture that one has not seen before. The Press and Media have an exclusive hour while the artist begins her project, prior to the VIP Pre-Party (starting at 8 pm) that includes a cocktail hour and appetizers with an invited list of local influencers, other New Jersey artists and important returning patrons of the local bar Surf City.
The schedule of the night:
6 pm: Artist Set up
7 PM: Press & Media Only
8 PM: VIP Pre-Party & Cocktail Hour
9 PM: Doors Open to General Admission

About the artist:
How to Astral Project: Martina Hanna Artist Bio
Martina graduated from Mason Gross and since then has focused on continuing her portfolio through radical responses and critiques of America's socio-political state, including consumerism, the gender war, and the problematic catch 22 women in today's society face. For her thesis, she produced an experimental time-lapse film of herself painting the same canvas over and over again, each time the work evolving to something completely different.
By challenging the framework of the institutionalized art world, she layers her projects both in concept and in form using film, paint, video, screen printing, illustration and self-identity.
