“NATURE’S ECHOES”: Works by members of the Trenton Community A-Team are featured in an exhibition at the Tulpehaking Nature Center in Hamilton through October 29.

The Friends for the Abbott Marshlands (FFAM) presents the Trenton Community A-Team (TCAT) exhibit “Nature’s Echoes” through October 29 at the Tulpehaking Nature Center, 157 Westcott Avenue, Hamilton.

TCAT supports, develops, and promotes self-taught, local artists because art can be transformative by reframing the artist’s connectedness to self and others and by enhancing community pride. About nine members of TCAT visited the Abbott Marshlands at the beginning of June, soaking in the sights, appreciating all the natural beauty the marshlands had to offer. Inspired by the experiences of their visit, the artists put paint to canvas, creating their body of work entitled “Nature’s Echoes.”

TCAT is an art collaboration that formed at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) 25 years ago. Each TCAT artist still meets for a weekly art program every Tuesday. The artists have their own studio, called “Studio 51,” where they continue creating art and growing their skills. This exhibit features work from both the older artists and ever-growing newer artists. For more information, to donate, or to view art. visit.tcateam.org.

The Abbott Marshlands are situated in Lenapehoking, the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Lenape. The lands include over 3,000 acres of open space along the Delaware River in Central New Jersey. The northernmost freshwater tidal marsh on the Delaware River provides rich habitat for a wide variety of birds, fish, mammals, and plants. FFAM is the only organization whose sole focus is the promotion and stewardship of the entire marshlands. It consists of locations at Roebling Park, Bordentown Bluffs, the D&R Canal Towpath, the Crosswicks Creek tidal water trail near the Delaware River, Northern Community Park in Bordentown, and a portion of Duck Island’s trail system, Trenton.
