ArtBender is a celebration of creativity and self-expression, happening in South Orange on June 18th, 2023. This year ArtBender takes place on Father’s Day, in the middle of Pride Month and right before Juneteenth. We therefore have several reasons to celebrate the diversity of our community by creating art to recognize everybody who enriches our community. We are very excited to have several events for all to participate in and enjoy. The community is encouraged to gather at the various “creativity hubs” and participate in communal projects throughout the town. ArtBender events include painting, chalk street art, writing, and community gardening. SoundBender includes musical performances throughout Seton Village and beyond. Be sure to start your day at 133 Fairview Ave and Carter Park, festivities kick off at 11am.
