Story & Verse

September 16 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Performers at Story and Verse

Enjoy an evening of community-created entertainment in the form of storytelling and poetic open mic! Our Summer Story & Verse series—June through August—will be held outdoors at Petoranello Gardens, Community Park North (20 Mountain Ave, Princeton).

All are welcome to tell a well-prepared story or perform their poetry. Each month, we’ll be inviting inspiration from a well-known song title. Artists are invited to interpret the theme as broadly as they wish. Performers must bring their own work, inspired by this month’s theme: “To be FREE…is to be BOLD”.

Hosted by Brass Rabbit and Phillip McConnell, the evening will include 45 minutes of stories and 45 minutes of poetry with a brief intermission.

Performers arrive by: 6:45pm
Stories begin: 7pm
Free RSVP: https://bit.ly/37DLivs

Performer Details

  • Performers will be randomly selected from names in a hat.
  • Storytellers should prepare a 5-minute story on the theme, true and about the teller.
  • Storytellers should follow “The Moth” guidelines.
  • Poets should perform their own poetry, up to 5 minutes in length, related to the theme.
  • Performers will be selected at random, so it’s possible that not everyone will get to perform.
  • Questions? Let us know at info@artscouncilofprinceton.org.

Free and open to the public!

Gallery Opening: Making Do

May 3 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Free
Join the Arts Council of Princeton for the Gallery Opening of Making Do. Free and open to all.
Each artist finds resonance in this stuff of life, from Shannon Curry Hartmann’s brooding pandemic era newspaper collages to Rachel Perry’s obsessive, beautiful and weirdly funny fruit sticker drawings. From Karla Carballar’s collection of fidgeting objects, arranged into a minimalist grid of maximal anxiety, to Heather Cox’s sculptural celebration of the snapshot era in all its mundane and yet somehow mysterious glory. Emna Zghal’s wood/print/collage conversations yield beautiful and haunting abstracted landscapes, and Mollie Murphy takes the small sculptures that emerge out of the stuff she scavenges and relocates them among wall hangings inspired by the original making- do mother-of-it-all: the hand made quilt.
Making Do is on view in the ACP’s Taplin Gallery from April 27 – May 24. An Artist Talk will take place Friday, May 17 at 6pm.
