Princeton Makes Artist Cooperative Announces Move to New Space Within Princeton Shopping Center

Two Events Scheduled for June 14 to Mark the Occasion

originally published: 06/09/2025

(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Princeton Makes, a Princeton-based artist cooperative, has announced that it will be moving its store and studios to a new location within the Princeton Shopping Center. Princeton Makes will host a re-opening celebration on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at the new location, which is in the southeast section of the shopping center, between Princeton Nassau Pediatrics and Pizza Star. People will have the opportunity to shop in the new space, meet many of the Princeton Makes artists, and enjoy refreshments. The event will start at 10:00am and continue through regular store hours until 6:00pm.

Princeton Makes will also host an indoor moving/yard sale on June 14th, from 10:00am to 2:00pm. The public is invited to come to the former location to shop for items that are not being moved to the new location, including furniture, displays, art books, art supplies, and myriad other items that somehow get accumulated when you spend almost four years in one location.  Half of all proceeds from the Yard Sale will be donated to the Princeton Mobile Food Pantry.

Jim Levine, founder of Princeton Makes, remarked that “Princeton Makes started as an idea to bring together a diverse group of local artists to make art, build a community, and share that art and community with the public. In our three and a half years we have done just that, well beyond what I could have imagined. The Princeton Shopping Center has been a great partner, allowing us to occupy our current space as a pop-up (albeit a long-term one) as they looked for permanent tenants. They have now found a new tenant for our space and have generously allowed us to move our pop-up to another space within the center.

“All this would not have been possible without the energy, spirit, and artistry of the Princeton Makes cooperative members, and to the public, which has supported our store as customers, collectors, and participants in the many events that we have held. We hope to build on all of this as we embark on our next chapter.”

Princeton Makes is a cooperative composed of 40 local artists who work across a range of artistic genres, including painting, drawing, stained glass, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and jewelry. Customers can support local artists by shopping for a wide variety of art, including large paintings, prints, custom-made greeting cards, stained glass lamps and window hangings, jewelry in a variety of designs and styles, and more.
