Bird Walk
2026-05-03 08:00 - 10:00
Join us for a community bird walk! Bring your binoculars and meet new friends (both feathered and not!)
Where: Giving Pond in Upper Black Eddy, PA (Parking area off of Jugtown Hill Road.)
When: Sunday, May 3rd, 2026 from 8am to 10am.
Who: This outing is hosted by Myllicent Felder from Sidney Ridge Nature Playschool, through Flemington DIY, a volunteer-run arts space in Flemington, NJ.
We believe that birding is for everyone! Beginner birders are welcome. Binocular tutorials available! Field guides available for reference.
Cost: Sliding scale suggested donation of $5-20 upon registration. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Registration required: flemingtondiy.org/birdAt 8am, we will meet at the parking lot off of Jugtown Hill Road and travel together as a group. There is no parking fee. There is a well-maintained trail that loops around the pond. The trail in its completion is 1.9 miles. I don’t plan to walk that far, and we may loop back, depending on our timing.
I don’t believe there are restrooms at this location.
Please bring your binoculars if you have! We have two spare pairs available for use.
Running late? No problem. We will leave the meeting spot around 8:10am, and we move as fast as the slowest person, so we shouldn’t be too far!
If the weather is forecasted to be dangerous, Myllicent will reach out via email by 10am to confirm or cancel the outing.

Open Jazz Jams
2026-05-03 13:00 - 17:00
Open Jazz Jams are held he first Sunday of every month.
The sessions will provide an opportunity for musicians to play with an experienced band. From 1-2 PM the hosting musicians for the week will play. Other musicians will be invited to sit in and play between 2-5 PM (typically a minimum of 2 songs each, circumstances permitting). With the exception of drum kit and piano, all musicians should bring their own equipment (instruments, amps, drum sticks, microphones, etc.). The sessions will focus primarily on jazz standards and other jazz tunes contained in Hal Leonard Real Books volumes 1 through 3. Newcomers will be coached through the process.
A $3 to $5 donation to Flemington DIY will be required from each musician that plays at the session. Visitors that just want to listen to the music are also welcome to attend for all or any part of the 1-5 PM sessions free of charge.
For questions about the sessions, or to be added to the monthly text notification list for last minute cancellations or reschedules, please email njjazzjam@gmail.com

It’s an opportunity to connect with other songwriters, play your song idea for us – whether it’s fully formed or not – and receive gentle, respectful, and constructive feedback. All genres welcome! Please bring a few hard copies of your lyrics to share (they’ll be returned to you). We have a piano available. Donations at the door

Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop
2026-05-13 19:30 - 21:30
Ekphrastic poetry, simply put, is writing poetry about the visual arts.
Together, we will discuss the current exhibiting artworks at Flemington DIY, using questions and prompts, both prepared and improvised, to help us creatively write in response to the local art.
After a mix of group discussion and individual writing exercises, we will share our poetry and hear what we all came up with.
In this process, we hope to create understanding of both ourselves and each other, through writing and thinking creatively in new ways stimulated by local arts.

2026-05-16 18:00 - 22:00
Join us for a special evening at the Acme Screening Room in Lambertville, NJ!
First a screening of the documentary “TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing”. The film is a biography of the influential writer, filmmaker and cultural worker, who with humor and deep insight, inspired a generation of artists to dedicate themselves to community empowerment. The film is structured as a series of lessons on cultural organizing, gleaned from Bambara’s life and shared by her friends, colleagues and students.
Film producer/director Louis Massiah commissioned accomplished Jazz drummer, Jerome Jennings to score the soundtrack. His music complements the visuals, transporting the audience back to the time and places in which Cade Bambara lived. Following the film Jerome will perform live at the ACME with the Jerome Jennings Quintet.
A food and wine reception will be held during a half hour intermission after the film.
All funds benefit the programming of Flemington DIY and ACME Screening Room.
