(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Award winning artist Adriana Groza will hold the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of the Adriana Groza Art Gallery & Studio (38 Spring Street) in Princeton on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 from 5:25pm to 7:25pm.
The event marks more than the unveiling of a new creative space — it celebrates the 21st anniversary of Adriana and her husband’s arrival in the United States, a day symbolizing a leap of faith, new beginnings, and the pursuit of dreams. “This is a day of many firsts,” says Groza. “It represents the moment I stepped onto new soil with hope in my heart and dreams in my spirit. To now open my own gallery in the heart of Princeton, surrounded by community and purpose, feels like full circle.”
Groza is no stranger to the Princeton arts community. Since 2021, she has maintained an active working studio at Princeton Makes, the artist cooperative in the Princeton Shopping Center founded by Jim Levine. “Jim has been an instrumental mentor and supporter of my growth,” she says. “Princeton Makes gave me a home, a creative family, and the confidence to expand into this next chapter.”
Housed in the iconic Kopp’s Cycle building, the gallery opens at a time of cultural momentum in Princeton, coinciding with the upcoming reopening of the Princeton University Art Museum and the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
“At Princeton Property Partners, we believe art strengthens local economies and public life; that’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Adriana Groza to the historic Kopp’s Cycle building—precisely as the Princeton University Art Museum reopens and the nation marks its 250th anniversary in 2026,” said Aubrey Haines, CEO of Princeton Property Partners and President of Experience Princeton. “Adriana’s presence will amplify cultural value, spur foot traffic, and deepen community engagement, aligning with our commitment to human-centered destinations where innovation and culture thrive.”
Groza’s journey to this moment was shaped by years of community support and collaboration. Princeton Councilwoman Michele Pirone Lambros, an advocate for local business growth, has been a key supporter of Adriana’s quest for a permanent home in town.
“Adriana’s new gallery is a wonderful addition to Spring Street, showcasing her beautiful artwork that brightens the corner and brings new vibrancy to the entire downtown,” said Michele Pirone Lambros, Princeton Councilwoman.
“Adriana’s connection with property owner Aubrey Haines began at an Experience Princeton meetup — a perfect example of how networking events can help turn entrepreneurs’ dreams into reality through community support and collaboration,” Lambros added.
Groza’s work, celebrated for its movement, emotion, and bold use of color, has been featured in regional, national, and international private and public collections. The new gallery will serve as both a showcase of her original paintings and a creative hub for workshops, exhibitions, and community engagement.
Gallery Hours are Weekdays — by chance or by appointment. Saturday & Sunday — 10:00am to 5:00pm.
