The Trenton Downtown Development Authority proudly presents the first-ever Trenton Art Festival, an immersive art experience that will transform the streets of Trenton from September 7th through 14th, 2024.
Festival Highlights:
• Murals: Celebrated artists Ouizi, Alexa Daluz, Fel3000FT, Rick Malt, Kelly Golden, Beau Stanton, and Michael Polakowski will create large-scale murals across seven city walls. These murals are meticulously curated to highlight the past, present, and future of Trenton.
• Sculptures: Local artist Tim Southward will unveil two innovative sculptures made from steel and glass. These sculptures will be located at Jefferson and St. Joseph.
• Art Displays: Over 20 venues along Jefferson Avenue will feature local artists and display their work.
Special Events:
• Art Fair: Hosted by Roundhouse BBQ, this fair will feature a wide range of art vendors, offering everything from paintings to handmade crafts.
• Children’s Activities: All About Grace will provide a family-friendly space with activities tailored for young artists.
• Art Scavenger Hunt: A festival-wide scavenger hunt will lead participants through all 20 locations. Those who complete the hunt will enjoy a sweet reward—a free scoop of ice cream.
The Impact of Public Art:
Public art plays a crucial role in enhancing community ties, beautifying the city, and improving the quality of life for all residents. It fosters significant creative collaboration and broadens the role of artists in community engagement. The Trenton Art Festival is committed to creating an inspiring atmosphere that encourages both residents and visitors to explore and appreciate the richness of Trenton’s cultural landscape.
