(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes will hold its second annual Art in the Courtyard - Fall Festival on Sunday, October 6, 2024 from 11:00am to 5:00pm in the Princeton Shopping Center courtyard. The festival is a celebration of creativity and community and will showcase the local artistic talent of Princeton and neighboring areas.
Over the past three years, Princeton Makes has organized and hosted numerous engaging and community-building events within the cooperative, as well as served as active participants in various festivals. They are happy to return for the second year with their very own Fall Festival, in collaboration with the Princeton Shopping Center. This year, they have expanded their vision to include local cultural institutions, with the aim of expanding awareness of all the wonderful programs available in the area, from visual arts to music, performing arts, and art classes.
Art in the Courtyard is designed to give local artists and artisans the opportunity to spotlight their work. But the festival goes beyond artistic displays; it is a celebration of the entire Princeton and neighboring areas. Princeton Makes is focused on community building and welcomes everyone to contribute to a community art project to be made during the event.
