SUMMARY:Princeton Kiosk Design Competition Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Honoring the 7 designs in the competition to reimagine the municipality’s kiosks. \nAmerican Institue of Architects (AIA)\, New Jersey presented the winners of the Princeton Kiosk Design Competition to the Mayor and Council\, capping a months-long effort to reimagine the bulletin board structures that have anchored Nassau Street since 1988. \nThe competition grew out of last year’s Nassau Street Streetscape Project\, which raised the possibility of removing the kiosks altogether. Princeton architect Joshua Zinder\, a former AIA New Jersey president\, reached out to Councilman David Cohen and municipal engineer Deanna Stockton to propose a design competition as an alternative. \nThe competition opened May 30 and closed July 18. The top six entries were then displayed at the Princeton Public Library\, where residents voted for a People’s Choice Award. \nAll entries will be on display here on March 24\, 25 and 26 in our theater space. Feel to stop by and check them all out!

SUMMARY:Story & Verse: A Storytelling and Poetic Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Share your story\, your poetry\, or your prose\, based on the monthly theme!\nStory & Verse provides a warm and welcoming spotlight for both emerging and established artists in our Solley Theater\, an intimate space in the heart of Downtown Princeton. \nJoin us as a performer: \n\nPrepare a story\, poem\, or spoken word piece up to 5 minutes in length and (at least loosely) related to the theme. This month’s theme is open\, so share what you feel like.\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.
