If you feel inspired\, just raise your hand when prompted and you can try the melody while the choir supports you. \nA screen-free singing experience:\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 \n FREE RSVP URL:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/event/pop-up-choir-princeton-mar3-26/ 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/2026/02/princeton-pop-up-choir.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260302T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260302T190000 DTSTAMP:20260530T104326 CREATED:20260225T171519Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260225T190242Z UID:10002523-1772474400-1772478000@artscouncilofprinceton.org SUMMARY:Teen Film Club with the Princeton Garden Theatre DESCRIPTION:We’re proud to partner with the Princeton Garden Theatre to host Teen Film Club! \nLocal high schoolers are invited to join Julia\, Garden Theatre’s Director of Education\, for the 4:20pm screening of the 2026 Oscar Nominated Shorts. \nFollowing the screening\, we’ll head over together to the Arts Council for pizza and discussion.

Working primarily in black and white\, Wolarsky captured scenes of everyday life with sensitivity\, patience\, and a keen eye for human presence. \nEvery photograph in this exhibition was printed by Wolarsky himself. From 1976 to 1993\, he maintained an extensive darkroom in his Pennington home\, mastering traditional photographic printing techniques. Later\, he transitioned seamlessly into digital printing\, developing deep expertise in Photoshop and a nuanced understanding of papers\, inks\, and printers. His commitment to craft remained constant across technologies\, with the final print always central to his practice. \nWolarsky’s passion for photography began at the age of nine\, when his father gifted him a Leica camera\, a moment that sparked a lifelong artistic pursuit far beyond hobby. Alongside his creative work\, Wolarsky led a distinguished career in medicine\, earning degrees from Harvard\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and Wharton\, completing surgical training at Columbia-Presbyterian\, serving in the U.S. Navy\, and later becoming the first medical director of Hunterdon Medical Center before retiring in 1999. \nIn addition to being a dedicated physician\, Wolarsky was a gifted pianist\, marathon runner\, and active member of the artistic community. His photographs have been exhibited at Soho Photo Gallery in New York City\, Ellarslie at the Trenton City Museum\, and in national online exhibitions\, and are held in private collections throughout the Princeton area. \nPhotographs in this exhibition are available for purchase\, with proceeds benefiting the Arts Council of Princeton. \n  URL:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/event/evan-wolarsky/ LOCATION:Arts Council of Princeton\, Princeton\, NJ CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Free or Low Cost ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://artscouncilofprinceton.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/decisive_moment_banner.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260214 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260315 DTSTAMP:20260530T104326 CREATED:20251208T161603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260119T201119Z UID:10002443-1771027200-1773532799@artscouncilofprinceton.org SUMMARY:America Unfiltered: Portraits and Voices of a Nation DESCRIPTION:America Unfiltered: Portraits and Voices of a NationDirectors: Horacio Marquinez and Kirill MyltsevOn view: Feb 14 – Mar 14Opening: Sat\, Feb 14 | 3-5pmFilm Screening + Q&A: Sat\, Feb 14 | 1pm\n \nExhibition statement:\nWHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN AMERICAN?Wanting to understand a fractured country with a rancorous election underway during a wave of gun violence\, two immigrant filmmakers\, one from Panama and the other from Russia\, journey across the United States revealing an unfiltered\, unflinching portrait of America.
