STARS (the South Trenton Area Residents' Society), is seeking Artists of all ages to decorate wooden hearts for their 1st Annual “Hearts and Stars” Silent Auction taking place at ARTWORKS on Saturday February 27 from 6:00 - 9:00pm. There are no rules about how these hearts can be decorated – they just ask that artists be creative! Plain hearts can be picked up at several Trenton business locations listed on the STARS website. (NOTE: Hearts are free and should be returned to any of these same locations before Saturday, February 20th. Hearts can be picked up starting Wednesday January 20th.)
STARS is also inviting artists working in all mediums (paintings, photographs, sculpture, poetry, found objects, etc.) to enter work in the one-day exhibition, "Depictions of Trenton," also taking place at ARTWORKS February 27. Artwork for this exhibit must include Trenton as the subject matter or theme of the piece. The “Depictions of Trenton” work must be for sale, with 75% going to the artist and a 25% commission going to support STARS.

This is a little complicated; so if you’re interested, check out the FAQ section of the STARS website for more information about this event.
All proceeds from the Hearts and from commission on sale of works in the Depictions of Trenton display will go to support STARS new community garden effort in South Trenton.
Be warned that most, if not all, of the blank hearts have been taken. Contact the pick-up location to see if they have any left before you make the trip, or contact STARS with any questions.
