The Hoboken Historical Museum is proud to invite you to the opening reception of our new exhibit in the Upper Gallery, WE ALL STOP DOWN HERE, YOU’LL STOP TOO! Street Photography, Skate Decks, and Video by Jackie Post on Sunday, September 28th from 2 – 5 PM! 

As a Marketing Art and Design student at Middlesex Community College, Jackie Post was once told by a professor that only five classmates in the course would make it in the art world. 

Upon hearing this sentiment, Jackie made a commitment to always uphold her artistic integrity and stay true to herself. 

Jackie has channelled this unrelenting outsider sensibility to her career in visual arts, which has included positions as a prop master, production coordinator, prop and set stylist, and art director for print, web and B2B platforms. 

She developed a signature out-of-the-box aesthetic and keen attention to detail that permeates her work. 

Shy by nature, Jackie found her favorite mode of expression as a street photographer. 

Working primarily in black and white with available light, Jackie has a gift for capturing spontaneous and ephemeral moments. Jackie cites the photographer John Brill as a role model in creating a body of work that focuses solely on expressing her individuality. 

Jackie lived in Hoboken for 36 years and many may know her as a former co-owner of the legendary Maxwells from 1998-2014. 

This exhibit consists of over 25 photographs, 8 skate decks, and videos that are candid portraits taken from the 1990s up until the COVID pandemic. 

One day while riding as a passenger in a car on Bloomfield Street, Jackie noticed an electric street sign stating WE ALL STOP DOWN HERE, YOU’LL STOP TOO! 

Jackie felt the universe was guiding her to find this sign…She had no idea what she would do with it, or what would come of it, but she quickly gathered herself to snap a photo. 

Jackie felt there was something about the sign that captured Hoboken’s bravado and youthful energy. 

Please join us on the 28th!
