Seeing families together, smiling, creating art, and spending time with one another has got us up in the clouds ☁️🎨

At Artworks Trenton, we continuously strive to make the arts accessible and welcoming to everyone, and Family Art Making Day is a beautiful reflection of that mission. There’s nothing better than watching families and friends come together to laugh, create, and share joyful moments through art.

We’re excited to welcome the community back for another amazing day of creativity, connection, and fun on May 23rd from 12:30pm–5:00pm at Artworks Trenton. Bring the whole family, invite your friends, and celebrate the joy of community with us! 💛

Family Art Making Day is sponsored in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the City of Trenton.
