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.

TCB and the Jerome Jennings Quintet Plus Reception @ Acme Screening Room
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.
