Fire Tiki’s
All 24 Hours
Glenn Moore’s Fire Tiki’s are back at Art All Night. Glenn makes these highly expressive wood burning creations out of recycled steel. These Tiki’s are hot, and this year they will be cooking!
Fire Bowls
All 24 Hours
Local sculptural welder Peter Abrams fabricates artistic and functional Fire Bowls out of reclaimed wire rope. The wire rope is much like the wire cables formerly made at the Roebling complex where Art All Night takes place. While the wire rope John Roebling invented was ground breaking technology that made suspension bridges possible, Peter and The Trenton Atelier are one of the ground breaking forces in the creation of Trenton’s newest art scene. Come check them out!

How long does it take to paint a mural? Well, 24 hours of course. This mural painting installation will run the entirety of Art All Night and will be the work of Jim Lemyre, a local muralist.

Pollution Evolution
All 24 Hours

Garbage House
All 24 Hours
DEMO’s “Garbage House” is an interactive installation designed to afford the participant a glimpse into the lives of a DIY rock band as it prepares for a show. Based on their actual living room in South Trenton, “Garbage House” is reflective of the grit and resolve required to survive in one of the nation’s toughest cities, as well as the underlying themes of creativity, brotherhood, and freedom that exist in DEMO’s music.
ART DEMONSTRATIONS
Trenton Atelier Paint Pendulum
Saturday 8:00pm – 12:00am
The Trenton Atelier Pendulum Paintings are fashioned from found house paint dripping out of a swinging suspended recycled bottle; the resulting curvilinear pattern is captured on sheets of reclaimed plywood, which are later used as architectural accents. You can find many examples hanging on boarded buildings throughout downtown Trenton where they are being installed to revitalize the city, along with many other city-wide urban arts efforts. Feel free to bring your excess house paints, tee shirts, and smile to add to the experience.
WPRB DJ’s Late Night Set
Sunday 12:00am – 2:00am
Art All Night wouldn’t be what it is today without the help of our good friends at WPRB Princeton. They will be playing music between acts on the outdoor stage again but this year they will take over the outdoor demo area after midnight for a very special late night set. Don’t forget your dancing shoes!
Graffiti College
Sunday 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Have you ever passed by a graffiti mural in the city and wondered, “how did that come out of a spray can?” Local Trenton graffiti artist Leon Rainbow is going to show you how. Learn the basics of graffiti and hear some of Leon’s stories about how he creates graffiti in legal spaces and his road to get there.
Pin Striping Demo
Sunday 1:15pm – 2:15pm
Pin striper Bruce Toth shows you how the tricks and the tools come together to create unbelievable layouts and designs. You will find pin-striped paint jobs on hot rods, motorcycles, speed boats and generally anything that goes fast. Bruce can do all that but for Art All Night 2011 he is going to pinstripe a very special item. A toilet seat!
