HomeFront’s ArtJam to support artists and families experiencing housing insecurity

Posted

HomeFront’s ArtJam 2024 launches Friday, May 3, at 45 Hulfish St., Palmer Square, Princeton, N.J., and remains open until May 18.

With more than 75 artists represented, the annual “pop-up” gallery will feature the work of national and local professional artists as well as undiscovered artists who have been impacted by poverty and homelessness. The one-of-a-kind artwork for sale includes paintings, sculptures, pottery, glass, and hand-sewn items.

ArtJam 2024 is an inspiring, high-energy celebration of creativity and community that benefits HomeFront and its innovative therapeutic art and sewing programs, ArtSpace and SewingSpace.

HomeFront is a nationally recognized social service organization for low-income Mercer County residents who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. It provides 35 programs that promote safe, secure housing; life skills and educational support; and basic necessities, with a special focus on children.

Among the ArtJam events will be a Fashion Show by HomeFront’s SewingSpace participants at the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon St., from 3-4:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11. A Fashion Show Reception from 4:30-6:30 p.m. will follow, around the corner at ArtJam. On Mother’s Day, May 12, a Mother Child painting class will be held from 10 a.m.-noon. Space is limited; register at www.homefront-artspace.com. The ArtJam closing reception is scheduled for Friday, May 17, from 5-8:30 p.m.
