We are super amped to announce the newest addition to the NJPRFM… The “RISE ABOVE: A Charity Punk Rock Group Art Exhibit”

We’re erecting a 20’ x 20’ pop-up gallery right in the middle of the chaos & packing it with bold, bizarre, beautiful & original artwork from artists who are vendors of the NJPRFM & beyond. This will sit in the center of the show all weekend… a chaotic, creative collision of punk culture & visual art. ALL WORKS WILL BE FOR SALE!

ANY ARTIST READING THIS MAY APPLY NOW AT THIS LINK.

You do NOT need to vend with the NJPRFM to participate.
Submissions close March 20, 2026.

If selected, we’ll handle the hanging, hosting, hawking & sales, while 1000’s of attendees wander through nodding thoughtfully like they totally understand what they’re looking at!

The opening will feature all the standards such as

  • Passed hors d’oeuvres (cocktail weenies & doritos), Cheese plates (Kraft Singles) & Sparkling water (the Expo Center faucet)

  • A tasteful touch of snooty, snarky gallery behavior

  • An absolute amazing selection of original art available for purchase

THE CHARITY PART

  • Artists receive 75% of the sale price

  • 25% is donated to charity

  • NJPRFM will match that 25% donation

All proceeds will benefit the COMMUNITY FOOD BANK OF NEW JERSEY as they help families facing the reality of rising grocery bills & daily expenses. Doing good while doing weird art felt like the right move. 

Our community is STACKED w/ talented creators, so not every submission can be accepted… BUT we’ll host RISE ABOVE at most NJPRFM shows in the future, so there will always be another chance!

Already applied? No need to do it again. Your submission is still sitting in the stack.
