If you feel inspired\, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you. \nTheme – “Earth\, Wind & Fire Medley”\n• “Let’s Groove Tonight”\n• “Shining Star”\n• “September” \n\nA screen-free singing experience:\n\nPop-Up Choir Princeton is intentionally phone-free and screen-free. Instead of staring at iPads or projectors\, everyone receives a simple lyric sheet and learns the music together by ear and by voice — the way humans have always sung. This keeps the focus on listening\, connection\, and the shared energy of singing in the same room. \n\nFree rsvp URL:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/event/pop-up-choir-princeton-sept26/ LOCATION:Arts Council of Princeton\, Princeton\, NJ CATEGORIES:Community,Events & Performances,Free or Low Cost ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/popupchoir_header-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260909T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260909T210000 DTSTAMP:20260610T204643Z CREATED:20240124T180146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260610T204643Z UID:10001265-1788980400-1788987600@artscouncilofprinceton.org SUMMARY:Jersey Art Meetup (JAM) DESCRIPTION:Princeton Comic Makers presents: JERSEY ART MEETUPS (JAM)\, a weekly social event connecting creatives within the greater Central Jersey area through a shared passion for sequential art and new media.  Attendees may use this open workshop space to draw\, write\, and develop their own artwork\, with an opportunity to receive peer review and feedback from other members if desired.

This month’s theme is “With the Flow“\nArrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary.\n\nJoin our audience: \n\nTake the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater\, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.\nOptional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic\, as time allows.\nFind a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.\n\nQuestions? Shoot us an email. \n \nAbout our host:  \nBrass Rabbit is an artist\, contemporary curator\, and arts administrator based in Trenton\, New Jersey. Rabbit has been creating and hosting poetry\, spoken word\, and storytelling events in the tri-state area for over a decade. As a performer\, the art of storytelling holds a very special place in her heart\, but listening to and supporting others is where she feels most at home. \nHosting the Story & Verse Open Mic at the Arts Council of Princeton could be called a dream job\, but for Rabbit\, the position completely lacks any “work-like” qualities and is more of an outstanding experience she looks forward to each month. Previously\, Rabbit has hosted the Levitt Amp Music Series\, Voice to Ear Festival\, Word on Front Poetry Festival\, independent poetry and storytelling open mics\, and even curated an art exhibition celebrating the art of poetry.

If you feel inspired\, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you. \nTheme – “Halloween Party Medley”\n• “Superstition” by Stevie Wonderful\n• “Ghostbusters” from Ghostbusters\n• “Thriller” by Michael Jackson \n\nA screen-free singing experience:\n\nPop-Up Choir Princeton is intentionally phone-free and screen-free. Instead of staring at iPads or projectors\, everyone receives a simple lyric sheet and learns the music together by ear and by voice — the way humans have always sung. This keeps the focus on listening\, connection\, and the shared energy of singing in the same room. \n\nFree rsvp URL:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/event/pop-up-choir-princeton-oct26/ LOCATION:Arts Council of Princeton\, Princeton\, NJ CATEGORIES:Community,Events & Performances,Free or Low Cost ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/popupchoir_header-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261014T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261014T210000 DTSTAMP:20260610T204643Z CREATED:20240124T180146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260610T204643Z UID:10001270-1792004400-1792011600@artscouncilofprinceton.org SUMMARY:Jersey Art Meetup (JAM) DESCRIPTION:Princeton Comic Makers presents: JERSEY ART MEETUPS (JAM)\, a weekly social event connecting creatives within the greater Central Jersey area through a shared passion for sequential art and new media.  Attendees may use this open workshop space to draw\, write\, and develop their own artwork\, with an opportunity to receive peer review and feedback from other members if desired.

This month’s theme is “From Dusk Till Dawn“\nArrive by 6:45pm to add your name to the hat. No previous experience or pre-registration necessary.\n\nJoin our audience: \n\nTake the elevator or stairs to the Solley Theater\, located on the top floor of our Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.\nOptional: participate from your seat with a Micro Story. Read the printed prompt based on the evening’s theme and respond with a super concise story (just a line or two!) that answers the question. Brass Rabbit will read your story at the mic\, as time allows.\nFind a seat and enjoy the performances. We kick off shortly after 7pm.\n\nQuestions? Shoot us an email. \n \nAbout our host:  \nBrass Rabbit is an artist\, contemporary curator\, and arts administrator based in Trenton\, New Jersey. Rabbit has been creating and hosting poetry\, spoken word\, and storytelling events in the tri-state area for over a decade. As a performer\, the art of storytelling holds a very special place in her heart\, but listening to and supporting others is where she feels most at home. \nHosting the Story & Verse Open Mic at the Arts Council of Princeton could be called a dream job\, but for Rabbit\, the position completely lacks any “work-like” qualities and is more of an outstanding experience she looks forward to each month. Previously\, Rabbit has hosted the Levitt Amp Music Series\, Voice to Ear Festival\, Word on Front Poetry Festival\, independent poetry and storytelling open mics\, and even curated an art exhibition celebrating the art of poetry.

Bring garments that no longer serve you\, and the fashion fates will guide you to new-to-you pieces destined to be yours. \nWe all have a piece of nice clothing that just didn’t work out for whatever reason. It might not fit your size\, your life\, or maybe your style has just evolved. Whatever the reason\, special clothes don’t have to be stuffed in the back of the closet or wind up in a landfill. Why not swap them for something new and see if your piece could become someone else’s wardrobe staple? \nAt this community clothing swap\, you’ll learn Stylebook’s tips and tricks for maximizing your wardrobe and finding your unique style. \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE: \nIt’s a one-for-one swap: for each piece of clothing you bring\, you can take one home! All pieces are first-come\, first-served. \nPlease drop off clothing and accessories between 11-11:45am.The swapping will begin at 12pm. The swap is first-come\, first-served: the earlier you arrive\, the more there will be to choose from! \nWhen you arrive\, you will check-in your items receive one ticket per item to swap. For example\, if you bring three articles of clothing\, you’ll receive three tickets to trade for three “new-to-you” items. You can bring up to 10 items! Please bring them on a hanger if possible. \nTHE DOs: \n– Quality over quantity. You can bring up to 10 pieces\, but there is no minimum. Bring items you’d be excited to find! \n– Consider bringing your own reusable shopping bag to take your items home. Thanks for embracing the sustainability at the heart of clothing swaps. \nTHE DON’Ts: \n– Damaged garments. Kindly check your pieces for rips\, stains\, or missing pieces. \n– Please stick to versatile and non-personalized pieces. For example\, please avoid bringing t-shirts with your high school mascot or family reunion sweatshirts. \nThis event is held in partnership with the Stylebook closet organization app. \nIn the event that any unclaimed items remain at the end of the event\, participants will have the opportunity to ensure all ‘unswapped’ clothes go onto their next life through donation. Additional details to come. \n \n TICKETS HERE\n \n \nABOUT THE STYLEBOOK APP \nJess and Bill Atkins are the co-founders of Stylebook closet app\, the original outfit planner and closet organization app. Based in Princeton NJ\, the app has over 1 million users and is the best way to find your personal style.
