There really is a lot of art going on in the area for this Father’s Day weekend. Still, if your dad is the type of guy who prefers rolling up his sleeves and tackling the next project rather than having brunch with a genteel crowd, you might consider an art-event that requires some heavy lifting. It’ll be a great bonding experience!
Pete Abrams, of Modern Metal Work studio, is an artist, a businessman, a dad, and a dreamer. To be clear: he’s a dreamer who really makes things happen. Right now, he dreams of a communal industrial space where art makers and art enjoyers can get together to create and display their work – particularly large scale work. On Father’s Day, this Sunday, he’s holding a working party to show off a space he’s found in the old Roebling Complex in Trenton that he envisions as the future Trenton Atelier.
But before Sunday, he really needs help prepping the building for the (post-Art All Night) party. Incidentally, it’s not all heavy work involved; he’s also looking for assistance with food prep and other party-planning activities.
Pete’s also bringing his Firebowls to this weekend’s Art All Night and is looking for folks who could help keep the bowls going for the 24 hours. If you can help, contact Pete directly at 609-610-3624
