Hey, songwriters: Do you have songs that are half finished? Lyrics you’re not entirely happy with? A songwriting circle is not a performance. 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
2026-06-10 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.

Spaces: Tracking Movement and Moment Street & Documentary Photography Workshop
2026-06-13 10:00 - 13:00
This workshop focuses on observing and photographing public space as it unfolds in real time. Participants will develop skills in timing, composition, and visual awareness while learning to move through environments with attentiveness and ethical consideration.
Rather than searching for “decisive moments,” we will work with sustained observation, learning how meaning emerges through context, layering, and observing subtle shifts in movement and behavior.
Through guided exercises, participants will explore how everyday environments contain visual structure, narrative tension, and unexpected moments of connection.
Participants will:

Develop observational skills for photographing in public space
Learn to work with timing, gesture, and environmental context
Practice layering foreground, midground, and background elements
Explore ethical approaches to photographing strangers
Build short visual sequences from real-world observation

This workshop is open to all levels. No prior experience is required, and all cameras, including smartphones, are welcome. Participants who are able to contribute at the higher tier directly support accessibility for others. Additional Costs: Participants bring their own cameras. No required software or material fees.
Sliding Scale: $85 – $125Supporter Tier: $150 (helps fund scholarships)

Stomp & Sow Community Barn Dance and 250th Celebration
2026-06-14 15:30 - 19:00
The revolution wasn’t just fought on battlefields, but lived in barns, taverns, and town greens by everyday people. Come celebrate their stories at a Community Barn Dance on Stangl Road, marking 250 years of the United States.
On Sunday, June 14th starting at 3:30pm, step into the tavern for The Crossing: A Revolutionary New Musical, an intimate performance that amplifies the voices history often leaves out, including Flemington’s own Jacob Francis, a freed Black man who served in the Continental Army. Local author Larry Kidder follows with remarks on Jacob Francis’s extraordinary story.
Jugtown Mountain String Band and Caller Sue Dupre will then take the floor for two rounds of live square dancing. No experience is needed, just a willingness to move. Between sets, grab a bite from Viva Mexico’s Food Truck and browse the seed share to take something home and watch it grow (don’t forget to bring seeds from your garden to swap!).
Flemington DIY is hosting a screenprinting station where you can press your own bandana inspired by revolutionary ideals. Create something to wear, keep, and remember.
What does it mean to be a free and united country? The revolution didn’t end in 1776. Come dance, create, plant, and keep imagining how revolutionary ideals become lived experience in our communities.

Land: Tracking Light and Place Landscape Photography Workshop
2026-06-20 10:00 - 13:00
This workshop approaches landscape photography as a practice of attention to light, atmosphere, and spatial relationship. Rather than treating the landscape as a static view, participants will learn to read and respond to changing conditions of weather, light, and terrain.
Working in nearby outdoor locations, we will explore how landscape images can move beyond documentation toward expression, how mood, scale, and detail shape the emotional character of place.
Participants will be encouraged to slow down, observe patterns in light and shadow, and develop an awareness of how environments shift over time.
Participants will:

Learn to read and work with natural light in outdoor environments
Practice composing both wide views and intimate details
Explore how scale influences emotional and narrative tone
Develop awareness of atmosphere, weather, and spatial rhythm
Create images that respond to place rather than simply record it

This workshop is open to all levels. No prior experience is required, and all cameras, including smartphones, are welcome. Participants who are able to contribute at the higher tier directly support accessibility for others. Additional Costs: Participants bring their own cameras. No required software or material fees.
