THE GUIDE
ART. TRENTON.EVERYWHERE. The sixth annual Art All Day is Trenton’s biggest
open studio tour yet, with 37 sites all around the
city – seven of which didn’t even exist last year.
Over 100 artists are participating individually
or as part of collectives. Several very special
private studios are open for the first time, and
unique pop-up events and exhibits are dotted
throughout the city. There’s no better way to
experience Trenton as an incubator of creativity.
