About the Experience

House Blends: Joy At Home is a four-day penthouse takeover curated by Forsa La Familia (Marcy DePina + Tawana Meck) as part of Newark Arts Festival 2025. Transforming a newly renovated two-story penthouse with a wrap-around patio and sweeping city views, this exclusive hospitality suite serves as a premium hub for key partners and VIP pass holders.

Blending sound, ritual, art, healing, and curated design, the experience features immersive rooms, live activations, DJ sets, and private gatherings - all exploring how joy lives at home, and how space can hold community, creativity, and care.

The space will showcase original works and curated rooms by a powerful roster of artists and designers, including Bailey Li, Zora Obi, Ikechukwu Amos, Eshinlokun Wasiu, Okereke, Armando Diaz, Noelle Lorraine Williams, Ané Clothier, Alpha Studios, Kween More and Matt Gosser.

This intimate celebration of culture and imagination is a featured anchor of Newark Arts Festival 2025.
