In looking over my previous post about New Jersey’s upcoming music festivals this summer, I thought about another really cool upcoming event held near the Roebling Market in Trenton, N.J.
It is called Art All Night and it is literally a 24-hour arts and entertainment event that takes place this year from 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 20, until 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 21. Although this is the second year in a row that it takes place during Asbury Park’s Wave Gathering Festival, I did manage to get in a night for the Wave Gathering Festival in Asbury Park last year AND make it to Art All Night in Trenton for a few hours before it closed that Sunday afternoon.
The cool thing about Art All Night is that artists of all ages and skill levels are invited to submit one — only one — piece of artwork for display in the exhibit hall during the 24 hours of Art All Night, which is held in a 50,000-square-foot building that is part of the Roebling Machine Shop that manufactured cables used to construct the Brooklyn Bridge (the building is slated to become the home of the Museum of Contemporary Science). There are some musical acts and demonstrations that take place in adjacent Millyard Park.
There is also a stage inside the main building on which musicians perform throughout the event.
Please check out the photos I took last year (see the slideshow above) and be sure to check out the web sites for both Art All Night and Artworks, downtown Trenton’s visual arts center and the primary force behind Art All Night.
