Monthly Food Drive
2026-05-05 18:00 - 19:30
Did you know that Flemington has seven Little Food Pantries (LFPs)? LFPs are small food pantries that allow community members in need to have open access to food, water, and hygiene items. These pantries depend on the support of donations from people like you! Come together with your community for a monthly food drive to stock four of the pantries. How does it work?Volunteers come together at the drive to sort donations that are dropped off from 6-7:15PM. Donations are counted and then sorted into bins for distribution to the pantries. Volunteers take each bin to the pantries to restock them. Any leftover items are distributed to the pantries later in the month.
Pantries are located at:

Flemington Area Food Pantry LFP, 154 Rt 31
Salvation Army LFP, Corner of Hopewell Ave & East Main Street
Community LFP, 10 New Jersey Avenue

Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop

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.

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.

SLOW PORTRAITS – THE PEOPLE WE PASS EVERY DAY
Christianne Ebel & Nolan Yamashiro

As part of Flemington DIY’s Community Photo Capture, we hope you will join us during the Sip N Stroll for a free adventure into slow portraits. Working with analog processes, this project offers a counterpoint to the speed of everyday image-making, inviting participants into a slower, more intentional photographic experience.
Join us! You are invited to take part in a Slow Portrait, a carefully composed photograph made using a 4×5 large format camera.
Each participant will:
• Sit for a guided portrait created through a deliberate, visible process
• Receive a Polaroid portrait as an immediate takeaway
• Become part of a growing visual archive created over the course of the evening
Alongside the portrait sessions, Polaroids will be displayed in a structured, evolving installation, forming a live pop-up exhibition that reflects the people present that night.
