Celebrating local creativity with an art hall and cosplay guests!
Please join us at La Luna Dance Hall for NJ Art Garden’s first-ever “One Hell of an Art Hall”, a real anime convention-style artist alley without the high cost of a convention pass! Take photos with cosplayers and enjoy the offerings of our local artists for this truly unique one-day event!
