Art is always nice, but Mayor Roberts comments here about Hoboken's art community is laughable. There are not even 100 artists signed up this year for Hoboken's annual walking tour. Hoboken is fast losing its art cache and becoming a city of wall street vacuous condo buyers. Don't get me wrong, the art community that currently exists (shrinking ever more) is delightful and La Francaise does a great job getting the word out...but let us be real. If we do not support art it cannot sustain itself. It is a measure of a community that supports its artists and those who are not bound by the capitalist notions of employment. Hoboken is failing.

Good luck to Galarie Attinette and may more come. Just don't hold your breath.
