SUMMARY:Stylebook Clothing Swap 2026
DESCRIPTION:Stylebook and the Arts Council of Princeton see a new outfit in your future. 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. Stylebook is designed to help you carefully curate your wardrobe so you can love what you wear every day. Their goal is help you to get the most out of what you already have in your closet and to choose new pieces that will integrate well into your wardrobe as a whole. As you use the app you’ll receive automatic stats on which clothes you wear the most and least\, helping you streamline and edit your wardrobe – and identify clothes that might be good for a swap! \nLEARN MORE HERE

SUMMARY:Pop-Up Choir Princeton
DESCRIPTION:The choir you didn’t know you needed.\nPop-Up Choir Princeton is an all-ages community singing experience where families\, neighbors\, and music-lovers come together to sing pop songs in harmony — no auditions\, no pressure\, just joy. \n\nKids and parents sing side-by-side\nAdults who “used to sing” feel safe to try again\nFirst-time singers get to experience the magic of choir\n\nSing shortened versions of well-loved pop songs arranged with easy-to-follow harmonies. \nRather than being divided by age or gender\, singers choose the range that feels best for their voice: Low\, Middle\, or High. \nFamilies sit together and work as a team — either choosing to all sing the same part or challenge each other to sing in harmony. \nThere will also be moments where singers can volunteer to sing a short line of the melody on their own. 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

SUMMARY:Pop-Up Choir Princeton
DESCRIPTION:The choir you didn’t know you needed.\nPop-Up Choir Princeton is an all-ages community singing experience where families\, neighbors\, and music-lovers come together to sing pop songs in harmony — no auditions\, no pressure\, just joy. \n\nKids and parents sing side-by-side\nAdults who “used to sing” feel safe to try again\nFirst-time singers get to experience the magic of choir\n\nSing shortened versions of well-loved pop songs arranged with easy-to-follow harmonies. \nRather than being divided by age or gender\, singers choose the range that feels best for their voice: Low\, Middle\, or High. \nFamilies sit together and work as a team — either choosing to all sing the same part or challenge each other to sing in harmony. \nThere will also be moments where singers can volunteer to sing a short line of the melody on their own. 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

Casual attendance is accepted!\nBringing own materials is highly encouraged. Some basic materials are provided – paper\, pencils\, etc. – but please bring any tools necessary to help you create (i.e. drawing tablets\, sketchbooks\, etc.)\n\nWho we are: Sponsored by artist and educator Ronah Harris\, Princeton Comic Makers is an artist collective founded in 2023 by local illustrators Christina Castro\, Suyang Gong\, and Masha Zhdanova after noticing a lack of in-person community spaces for NJ-based artists specializing in narrative arts and communications design. Although we create independently\, we often exhibit together at events such as MoCCA Fest\, Anime NYC\, and Camden Comic Con. Our weekly study group motivated us to strive towards completing projects and working towards professional goals\, so we hope more people can benefit from this club! \nChristina Castro is a freelance illustrator and storyboard artist who graduated from Pratt Institute (2018) with a BFA in Digital Arts (2D Animation) and a minor in Creative Writing.
