Artworks is asking for more volunteers for Art All Night. This is the region's biggest free 24 hour event and they expect over 600 artists to participate. Come to think of it, probably 15,000 spectators. Music, bands, dancers, food and art. Wow!
The location in an old Roebling factory building is perfect for this gallery "happening". It is everything you used to associate with the New York/Philly art scene, painting/sculpture, layered with today's music and urban culture and even includes senior citizen needlepoint and kids' refrigerator art.
Something for everybody is an obvious understatement.
All volunteers get the thrill of being behind the scenes for all the activities and are awarded a t shirt that will bring back memories years later. Personally, this is going to be my third year. I can see how the venue has expanded.
I have had just a small part in the success of Art All Night but success is a feeling that many people in Trenton do not get to experience. Give yourself that feeling too. Call Candice Frederick at candicefre@gmail.com to sign up. You can get more info at the website: www.artworkstrenton,org/artallnight/ and you can catch them at Facebook as well.
Volunteers are needed for Sunday June 20 for 3 hour shifts starting at 3 am. They go 3 to 6, 6 to 9, 9 to 12, and 12 to 3.
Also if you can help hang art on Saturday, Candace and her helpers could use your assistance from 8am to 2 pm. Also for take down on Sunday, June 20 from 3 to 6pm. They have a very organized system to account for artwork so most of the volunteer work is just carrying the art work from the display area to the artists at the intake area.
It looks like a heck of a good time.
Trenton rocks!
