In dialogue with PES Co-Director Jasmine Wahi, Troyli will dive into Fine Line, his residency-culminating exhibition and a bold shift in medium and scale for the artist.Stick around, and make a day of it. Enjoy brunch, explore our multiple Newark exhibition spaces, jump into an onsite workshop, and/or take a tour of Newark Grounds!--About Fine LineA series of monochromatic drawings juxtaposed with two murals, one of which is interactive, Fine Line is a unique change of pace for Troyli, who is known for his grand paintings with smooth, saturated, bold colors. The drawings, inspired by his love for political cartoons and MAD magazine, honor the technique that serves as the foundation for his visual practice. Fine Line is the first exhibition where Troyli’s drawings are the focal point and shown as their own body of work. The figures teeter on a fine line, vibrating between hypervulnerability and empowerment as they move through the drawn vignettes. Troyli considers the figures self-portraits, elastic avatars that he can manipulate, bend, and pose with full agency. Placed in settings in which they hold varying degrees of power, Troyli’s figures challenge the reality of shape-shifting and code-switching. Using humor and formal techniques, Troyli opens accessible windows into larger conceptual considerations. Viewers are invited to contemplate the conscious and subconscious practice of constructing and manipulating one’s identity, and further examine what that means in a global social context. Fine Line calls into question the performance of self and what it means to be on display. Learn more here.About Jake TroyliJake Troyli’s practice interrogates the performance of identity, the commodification of the Black and Brown body, and the elasticity of selfhood within systems of spectacle and labor. Drawing from the technical rigor of Northern Renaissance painting, Troyli employs classical techniques to create vibrant, theatrical compositions that fuse self-portraiture with social critique.His work is in the permanent collections of the Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY; Tampa Art Museum, Tampa, FL; the Ringling Museum, Sarasota, FL; the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; and The Pierce and Hill Harper Arts Foundation, Detroit, MI. Troyli attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ME (2019) and is the recipient of the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center Fellowship (2019-2020) and the Creative Pinellas Emerging Artist Grant, Largo, FL (2017). Troyli was a 2023 Visual Artist recipient of the Academy of Fine Arts x International City of Arts program in Paris, France. He was an artist in residence at Project for Empty Space in Newark, NJ from 2023-2025, and is an upcoming 2025-2026 resident at the Sharpe-Walentas artist residency in Dumbo, BK. Troyli will have a solo project at the Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY opening on September 26, and his first museum solo exhibition will take place in early 2027 at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newark/jake-troyli-fine-line-brunch-and-artist-talk/100001980191140005 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, brunch, exhibitions, contests, workshops, crafts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fjake-troyli-fine-line-brunch-artist-talk-tickets-1980191140005 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Newark - **state**: NJ - **country**: United States - **location**: Project for Empty Space - **lat**: 40.7348498 - **long**: -74.1720252 - **full address**: Project for Empty Space, 800 Broad Street, Newark, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Project For Empty Space (https://allevents.in/org/project-for-empty-space/22555323) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/7011e54ce3f8f13154b560552491a69a21fcd49db46f41c99aec5ea05d1ecdd8-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf6f6f6-gmir.jpg?v=1768394837 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/234f4886e2e702c8c0c08178ef14d98e540ae2bccae1e98c97394e46bb175c29-rimg-w400-h400-dcf5f5f5-gmir.jpg?v=1768394837 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Project for Empty Space, 800 Broad Street, Newark, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Project For Empty Space - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, fine-arts, brunch, exhibitions, contests, workshops, crafts - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Jake Troyli: Fine Line Brunch & Artist Talk ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Jake Troyli: Fine Line Brunch & Artist Talk", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/7011e54ce3f8f13154b560552491a69a21fcd49db46f41c99aec5ea05d1ecdd8-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf6f6f6-gmir.jpg?v=1768394837", "startDate": "2026-01-24", "endDate": "2026-01-24", "url": "https://allevents.in/newark/jake-troyli-fine-line-brunch-and-artist-talk/100001980191140005", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Project for Empty Space", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "800 Broad Street", "postalCode": "07102", "addressLocality": "Newark", "addressRegion": "NJ", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.7348498", "longitude": "-74.1720252" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join PES Artist In Residence Jake Troyli for brunch and a conversation with PES co-director Jasmine Wahi.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-01-24", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/newark/jake-troyli-fine-line-brunch-and-artist-talk/100001980191140005" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/newark/jake-troyli-fine-line-brunch-and-artist-talk/100001980191140005", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Project For Empty Space", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/project-for-empty-space/22555323", "description": "Project for Empty Space is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating safe and equitable spaces for audiences and artists alike.
