Beginning in 2007, Art All Night-Trenton is a 24-hour (literally) art and entertainment event in Trenton, NJ! An opportunity for four-year-old refrigerator artists, spirited novices and seasoned professionals to display one piece of art in a gallery like setting and for the public to enjoy that art in a dramatic, renovated urban space.

FREE to submit! FREE to attend!
Annually, we welcome thousands of artists of all ages, skill levels, backgrounds and mediums to submit art to our community art gallery. Including live music, interactive art, art installations, performance art, a 24-hr International Film Festival, Master Classes, meaningful kids art activities, plenty of artful surprises and more to make up this 24-hour arts and entertainment celebration. Art All Night - Trenton will take place in the historic War Memorial Building in the capital district.

What is Art All Night - Trenton?
Art All Night-Trenton is a 24-hour long arts extravaganza occurring annually in June. AAN encourages any artist of any age, medium or skill level to submit one piece of art of their own creation for display in a gallery-like setting. It is free to submit art and free to attend ( donations are highly encouraged ).

Art All Night-Trenton is a catalyst for community development, shining a spotlight on our region’s artistic talent. The show includes and attracts artists of all ages and skill levels and particularly encourages children and amateur artists to be actively involved by contributing artwork and engaging in on site activities.

Art All Night-Trenton has 4 major goals:

  1. Empower artists who would normally not have an opportunity to showcase their artwork in public with a venue to do so

  2. Build community by encouraging people of all different lifestyles, races and incomes to interact

  3. Foster social networking between creative people who have an interest in improving Trenton

  4. Market Artworks’ classes, exhibitions, events, and volunteer opportunities.
