Art Opening, Trenton Free Public Library

Saturday August 23, 2025
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The Trenton Artists Workshop Association (TAWA) and the Trenton Free Public Library will present "Recent Works byThomas Kelly" at the Trenton Free Public Library from August 23rd – October 11th. An opening reception is set for Saturday, August 23rd, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Thomas Kelly is an award winning, New Jersey based painter. Widely collected, his work has a signature style, which has its roots in Expressionism. His colorful, narrative, acrylic paintings on canvas often create a dialogue with the viewer. His deceptively simplistic paintings are both critically acclaimed and very approachable by everyday viewers. More than 350 of Kelly's original paintings have been collected. Kelly has exhibited in New Jersey, New York City, Philadelphia and Bethlehem PA. His work is in private and public collections in the US, Europe and Asia.
