LEARN MORE about the Photo Capture show & event
“Take Me Home Tonight!,” a group show featuring emerging and established artists will open on Friday, December 6 from 5:30PM-8:30PM at Flemington DIY.
“Take Me Home Tonight!” is a small works show with two predetermined dimensions that are fun to create and even more exciting to buy! With a one-night only opening fundraiser event on Friday December 6, art lovers can snag works at set prices while supporting artists and the 100% volunteer-run nonprofit, Flemington DIY.
The show is inspired by EZ2Steal, created by Katie Albert and Graham Preston. “When DIY asked us for our blessing to put on a similar show, we thought it was a wonderful opportunity to support artists and creatives,” say Preston. “Creatives are the core that community, culture and commerce spins around. Nurturing community begins with makers, dreamers, and thinkers.”
The show will remain hanging until the end of December with the opportunity to buy, but after the opening night, all pieces will be available for purchase at prices set by the artists. How much higher will the price go? How will the price change after the opening?
“There was a lot of excitement to see what more established artists were going to present at EZ2Steal. As a weekend warrior kind of painter, it was fun to be in a show with folks whose work you really admire and feel all the energy from a large group of artists,” says Flemington DIY volunteer Nicole Maniez.
Flemington DIY hosts monthly art shows and arts programming in our beautiful new space on Stangl Rd in Flemington NJ. “We continue to elevate our programming, “ says Executive Director Jeff Hersch, “and are looking forward to seeing a lot of participation from artists across the region in this show with a twist.”
The opening night will feel like a party with music, food and mingling. Come enjoy the fun community vibes, buy some art for yourself or as unique gifts and join in the merriment!
