Aida Jones

Aida Jones and her husband Steve (a singer/songwriter, and musical performer) moved from Hoboken to Maplewood in 2006. Aida lived with her parents in South Orange when she was a kid, so returning to the picturesque SOMA area was an easy choice.

In this role, she was responsible for marketing, programming, and gallery curation as well as management and promotion of “First Sundays” – a monthly artist studio tour. Upon moving to Maplewood, Jones became active in the arts community, participating in exhibits, studio tours, and serving on the board of the 1978 Arts Center.
