ART MAKING DAYS: This year’s free Art Making Day events will take place at four locations: at Artworks Trenton on March 23 from 12 to 4 p.m.; and at Artworks Trenton, the Boys & Girls Club Centre Street Clubhouse, the Trenton Free Public Library, and the New Jersey State Museum on March 30 from 12 to 4 p.m.

On March 23 and 30, from 12 to 4 pm., artists of all ages, cultures, and backgrounds are welcome to fully immerse themselves in the delightful act of creating and revel in the sheer beauty of self-expression at Art Making Day. For toddlers, grandparents, and everyone in between, Art Making Day is a free event that promotes the idea that entire communities can be connected and uplifted through various forms of creative expression.

Hundreds of children and adults are expected to attend Art Making Day and explore the assorted “art stations” set up throughout Artworks Trenton, the Boys & Girls Club Centre Street Clubhouse, the Trenton Free Public Library, and the New Jersey State Museum over two weekends, March 23 and 30. Artworks aims to convert its 40-foot-high sky lit facility into an art-making playground where visitors imaginations are welcome to go wild. Activities range from mural painting and collage to art made from bike parts and upcycled materials. Door prizes will be waiting for all at Artworks, which will be filled with tools to inspire all ages to think outside of the box.

Artworks is located in downtown Trenton at 19 Everett Alley. For more information, go to www.artworkstrenton.org or call (609) 394-9436.
