originally published: 05/11/2024


(TRENTON, NJ) -- Art All Night Trenton, the free, 24-hour annual community arts event, pop-up gallery, and fundraiser presented by Artworks Trenton will take place on June 29-30, 2024, at its new home, the War Memorial Theatre on Memorial Drive in downtown Trenton, New Jersey.

The popular arts event returns to New Jersey’s Capital City to once again feature its signature blend of art submitted by artists of all ages and experience levels, musical performances, master classes, demonstrations, a film festival, and fun for the whole family. The new hybrid format will provide both in-person and virtual programming throughout the event’s 24-hour schedule. In-person programming will take place at the War Memorial building on Saturday, June 29 from 3:00pm to midnight, and begins again on Sunday, June 30 from 6:00am to 3:00pm. During the overnight hours, the in-person event will close, and a virtual component and online art gallery will take center stage via the Art All Night website and social media channels.

“We are incredibly excited about the return of Art All Night as well as its new home, the War Memorial! Art All Night is truly an important event for the community, as well as a key fundraiser to support arts education and programming here at Artworks. We are also keen to highlight the amazing local businesses and restaurants located in the area around the War Memorial.” said Craig Shofed, Managing Director of Artworks Trenton.

As always, attendance as well as art submission is free and open to the public. Artwork will be displayed both in-person at the War Memorial as well as in an online virtual gallery hosted on the Art All Night website. No previous art experience is required, and all artists are invited to submit one piece of artwork to be shown at the event. Artwork must be registered and submitted in advance via the Art All Night website.

“Art All Night can only happen with the support of our sponsors, donors, submitting artists, and most importantly, the volunteers. We are thrilled to welcome the community to our event’s beautiful new home, the Trenton War Memorial, and you can expect all the fan favorites like hundreds of pieces of art, master classes and demonstrations, musical performances, the film festival, and more!” said Addison Vincent, Artistic Director of Artworks Trenton.
