The Hightstown Cultural Arts Commission will host a pop-up art gallery at 125 Mercer St. in Hightstown from January 20-27., A pop-up gallery, often located in a vacant storefront, is temporary, unexpected and creates a surprising and unique environment to entice visitors., This pop-up gallery exhibit is called “Connections” since it links talent from artists who reside in Hightstown, Roosevelt, Trenton, West Windsor, Hamilton, and Princeton. The participating artists are Vladimir Aituginov, Bill Leech, Mel Leipzig, Marsha Levin-Rojer, Kathleen Hurley Liao, Dallas Piotrowski, and Ani Rosskam. Hightstown Cultural Arts Commissioners Frank Rivera and Jonathan Shahn, who are established fine artists, curated the exhibit., “This is a great opportunity to share the work of talented area residents who have distinguished themselves as artists in a variety of media. An added bonus is that several share their considerable talent and expertise as art educators,” said Hightstown Cultural Arts Commission Chair Ann Marie Miller. “We are grateful to temporarily use a vacant store in Downtown Hightstown to showcase the work of these fine artists for the enjoyment of our community.”, The Connections Pop-Up Gallery will open on Friday, Jan. 20, from 4:30 to 7 p.m., and will be open on Saturday from noon to 8 p.m.; Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.; Monday through Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m, closing on Friday, Jan. 27 at 5 pm. Artwork is available for sale., The building at 125 Mercer Street is located directly across the street from the Hightstown Post Office next door to Second Chance.
