Trenton Community A-Team, The Trenton Free Public Library, and Trenton Artists Workshop Association (TAWA) present an exhibition spotlighting the Trenton Community A-Team (TCAT), “From the Streets to the Studio”—a celebration of 25 years of resilience, creativity, and community.
The exhibition at the Trenton Free Public Library gallery runs June 28 through August 16. A meet-the-artists is event is scheduled for Saturday, June 28, at noon.
What began in 2000 as a group of self-taught artists meeting at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) and has grown into a thriving collective with its own dedicated space, “Studio 51,” located at 51 North Stockton Street. Along the way, TCAT has empowered dozens of artists to find their voice, build community, and turn struggle into beauty.
This retrospective brings together artwork from across the 25-year journey and features both longtime and emerging artists and focuses on the evolution of TCAT and the lives it’s touched through the healing power of art. These works are more than just paintings or drawings — they are stories, scars, dreams, and declarations.
“From the Streets to the Studio” is the first event of the Summer of TCAT series — a season-long celebration of everything TCAT has achieved.
