Artworks Trenton has announced the theme for Art All Night 2025: Trennaissance — a tribute to Trenton’s creative roots and a call to action for its future. Trennaissance blends “Trenton” and “Renaissance” to celebrate a cultural revival grounded in community, expression, and the enduring power of art to bring people together.

Set to take place June 28 from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. and June 29 from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the War Memorial, Art All Night will be previewed through a series of lead-up events titled “Artworks Trenton Presents: The Preview,” hosted at 19 Everett Alley. These pop-up happenings will bring back pre-pandemic activities based on community feedback, including the glass blowing demonstrations, and live performances. Attendees will also have the chance to co-create photo walls that echo past installations, to be revealed as featured works at the War Memorial during Art All Night.

“Trennaissance is more than a theme — It’s history in the making,” said Kenny Bullock, creative director of Art All Night. “We’re honoring the artists and cultural workers who built this space and making room for the next generation of creators to rise. This isn’t just about art — it’s about community, legacy, and what we can build together when everyone is invited to the table.”

The official Art All Night Trenton website is at artallnighttrenton.org, and open calls are now live. Art All Night is looking for visual artists, musicians, performers, vendors, volunteers, and community members ready to bring the energy. Sign up, spread the word, and help them make this year’s event the most vibrant one yet.
