Art Openings @Artworks Trenton

Saturday May 9, 2026
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Artworks Trenton presents two new exhibitions opening Friday, May 9 from 6–8 PM.

In Connections, Arlene Milgram explores the unifying energy behind her work, where mark-making becomes a personal signature—each gesture revealing emotion, movement, and the artist's state of mind. In Unrest, Beth Jarvie captures a world off balance, reflecting the tension and disorientation of living through uncertain times, where beauty and upheaval exist side by side.
