UC Artist Appreciation Night Awards Ceremony

This year instead of hosting the Annual Union City Artist Awards, we've decided to celebrate and give thanks to all the local artists who continue to make Union City such a special community with a ceremony and party.  THANK YOU.

The 7th Annual Union City Artist Awards

The Seventh Annual Union City Artist Awards were held yesterday, Saturday, June 16, 2018 at the William V. Musto Cultural Center, 420 - 15th Street in Union City, New Jersey. The elegant Red Carpet event brought together a who's who from the arts community.

The awards honored the most talented and dedicated artists from all disciplines who have contributed to Union City's artistic fabric, some artists have succeeded at an international level.  The elegant event was standing-room-only, with attendees enjoying the deliciously prepared food and the live music provided by The James Austin Trio; as well as a photo exhibit of historic Union City.   It was a great night!!!
