Wondrous on Witherspoon Returns This Week

“PRETTY IN PINK”: Wondrous on Witherspoon Pop Up Art Gallery at 14½ Witherspoon Street is presenting “WoW, Spring into Art! An Artist Invitational.” It will feature the works and demonstrations by accomplished and emerging artists from April 28–June 8. There will also be a reception and art walk on May 19 from 6–9 p.m. Pictured here is a watercolor by artist Sandy O’Connor.

Beginning April 28 and just two days before Communiversity ArtFest, Wondrous on Witherspoon (WoW) will once again be “popping up” to offer works of art for sale by some of New Jersey’s most accomplished artists. Thanks to owner, Jeffrey Siegel, this show will mark WoW’s fourth pop-up gallery event in the former Army and Navy Store, located just steps away from Nassau Street and the gates to Princeton University.

In addition to offering the work of its artists, WoW will be donating a portion of its proceeds to support local charities. In total, WoW’s efforts to date have generated more than $3,000 to six non-profit organizations. Proceeds from the upcoming Spring Pop-Up will be dedicated to HomeFront’s ArtSpace program, which according to its website, “works to rebuild souls through creativity and assists their clients on the road to self-sufficiency.

In a true community effort, WoW will be collaborating with HomeFront’s annual ArtJam event, which will be held at 19 Hulfish Street and an Artist Trunk Show promoting local artists at the jane consignment store, 7 Spring Street. All three venues will be hosting an Art Walk with receptions at each location during the evening of Friday, May 19, 6–9 p.m. This cross-promotion effort will enhance the experience for artists and art lovers alike and draw attention to and support for HomeFront’s ArtSpace program.
