“Trenton Art Puzzle” Profiles The Capital City’s Place as an Arts Destination Trenton, NJ - A new art exhibit “Trenton Art Puzzle” featuring the work of nearly 200 individuals opens October 5, 2018 in the BSB Gallery located at 143 East State. It is a bold statement of the quality and quantity of art that is being created in our State Capital and the reason so many young artists are moving to Trenton. The opening will also provide an artist’s talk featuring curators of the exhibit, local artists Aylin Green and Bruce Lindsay. The unique exhibit will be on display from October 5th to October 26th. BSB Gallery is open Thursdays through Saturdays from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The Trenton Art Puzzle was developed to engage Old Trenton Neighborhood residents in an art-making activity while also developing their awareness for the iconic shape of the city of Trenton. In several paint sessions offered throughout the neighborhood to people of all ages and backgrounds, the artists provided blank puzzle pieces cut out in the shape of the city. All participants were encouraged to paint their experiences, their hopes for their community, representations of neighborhood landmarks, symbols of their cultural identity, or simply beautiful abstract expressions.
