Art in the Courtyard is designed to give local artists and artisans the opportunity to spotlight their artwork.  And the festival goes beyond artistic displays; it is a celebration of the entire Princeton and neighboring communities. Princeton Makes is focused on community building and collaboration, and welcomes everyone to participate in a day filled with art, music, and connections!
