Jersey Fresh Jam puts hip-hop culture on display in Trenton
TerraCycle Include USA
TRENTON — Now in it’s ninth year, the Jersey Fresh Jam seems to stand the test of time.
The jam featured some amazing artwork and the hip-hop stylings of a number of artists. The smell of fresh spray paint mixed with the sounds of hip-hop set the scene for the festival, which is billed as the state’s premier hip-hop festival. Select artists from throughout the area come to spray new work on the Terracycle building. The event is hosted at the Terracycle headquarters on New York Avenue and began in 2005.
Hundreds attended Saturday’s jam while artists sprayed new art over freshly prepared walls.
While the Jam may stand the test of time, the artwork will only stand for the next year until the walls are prepped to receive new work at the next Jersey Fresh Jam — which will mark a decade of celebrating the hip-hip/street art culture.
The free event was coordinated by the Vicious Styles Crew and Terracycle.
