Less than 30 minutes away from New York City, a hub of influential art and culture, lies another whimsical landscape filled with extraordinary Jersey City murals. Thanks to the Jersey City Mural Arts Program, local artists and others simply drawn to the city’s charming potential, Jersey City, NJ, offers way more than non-existent street parking and deliciously diverse takeout options. There’s plenty more to discover than meets the eye. Can you see it? Take a second look at these incredible Jersey City murals below and witness what myself and many others have already discovered – it’s rapidly becoming the new street art mecca of the nation.

Jersey City Mural Arts Program Presents: Aqualand
This beautiful underwater-themed mural by the Jersey City Mural Arts Program is appropriately named “Aqualand”. Sponsored by Jersey City’s
Summer Works Art Program, over 15 students contributed to the project that now decorates the abandoned AC Delco Buy-Wise Auto Parts building, located in the heart of The Junction section of Jersey City, NJ. This 15,000 square foot work of
art combining several small Jersey City murals is the largest mural the program has ever created!
