SUMMARY:New exhibition at Trenton City Museum: African American Abstractions
DESCRIPTION:Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie announces the new show African American Abstractions\, a vibrant and colorful showcase filling three galleries with works by James E. Dupree\, Femi J. Johnson\, and Kenneth J. Lewis. Janis Purcell worked closely with the artists as the exhibition’s curator. African American Abstractions is on view through May 24. Aligned with the show are a free Family Workshop on Abstract Art Saturday\, April 11\, from 10 a.m. to noon and an Artists’ Roundtable Sunday\, April 26\, at 2 p.m. Information is available on the museum’s website. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nJames Dupree has been a practicing artist in the city of Philadelphia for over five decades. With exhibitions and residencies of national and international scope\, Dupree has created a legacy within the world of Fine Arts and Culture. His mediums include but are not limited to paint\, mixed media\, and sculpture. \nWith 35 different series of work reflecting the life of a contemporary African American Artist\, Dupree’s art treads the line between politics\, culture\, and fine art. What lies beyond the viewer’s initial aesthetic impression\, are poignant messages on race and class. As a master of his craft\, the intentionality behind his work is supported by the intersection of his expression of color\, form\, and unparalleled technique. Paired with Dupree’s ardent activism as a stronghold within the Philadelphia community for the last forty years\, this artist and agitator carefully impacts all which he touches. \nDupree holds a BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design\, an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania\, and has attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. After\, he went on to teach at Arts Centers and Fine Arts Schools\, including Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art\, University of Pennsylvania\, and Crewe and Alsager College in England. \nCurrently\, James Dupree owns and operates two Contemporary Fine Art galleries. Dupree Gallery Philadelphia\, which has been open since the 1980’s\, is located at 703 South 6th Street in Philadelphia\, The newest gallery location is located in the vibrant small town of Lambertville New Jersey at 10 North Union Street. Both locations host a variety of solo and group exhibitions of artwork crafted by renowned national and international contemporary artists. \nFemi J. Johnson’s abstract storyscapes embody a uniquely raw and permissive form of contemporary abstraction. Floating harmonized color\, shaped figural elements\, and snippets of line drawing all find their position and coalesce as expressions of Johnson’s worldview. Familiar places\, formal or self-educated beliefs\, and personal or media-influenced subjects abstractly saturate his mutable compositions\, freeing the viewer to explore interchangeable scenarios. Translating chaos into temporary but believable order on canvas\, Johnson’s cohesive improvisations exalt the rich connectivity of life. \nFemi J. Johnson was born in Manhattan\, New York\, and raised in Easton\, Pennsylvania. His early talent in graphite and charcoal drawing led to a professional career as a Master Draftsman & Designer for companies in Pennsylvania and New York. After thousands of technical drawings over decades of work\, Johnson redirected his creative energy back to the fine arts. He studied in a two-year studio art program at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy\, New York\, where his engagement with contemporary and modernist art in commune with his Yoruba spirituality inspired his emerging studio practice. In 2012 Johnson returned to the Lehigh Valley\, where he currently works out of his studio in downtown Allentown\, Pennsylvania. He has exhibited extensively across the region and internationally\, with works in corporate and private collections. \nJohnson is documented in Afrocosmologies: American Reflections at the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art in Hartford\, Connecticut. Shifting Time: African American Artists 2020-2021. A Gathering Of The Tribes#16: The Black Lives Matter Issue. \nHis work is held in the permanent collections of The Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art in Asbury\, New Jersey; the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora at the University of Maryland\, in College Park\, Maryland. \nIn 2016 Johnson was recognized with an Allentown Arts Ovation Award for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Arts. From November 2018 through July 2019\, he was named Allentown Art Museum’s Artist-in-Residence\, and for five years\, Johnson has been a featured artist at the Museum’s Cocktails and Collecting event. He remains actively engaged as a teacher\, mentor\, and ardent supporter of the arts community. \nKenneth J. Lewis Sr. is a self-taught contemporary visual artist\, born and raised in New Jersey. Remarkably\, he did not paint at all until the age of 47—creating his first work after experiencing a sudden\, overwhelming urge to express himself through art. Since that pivotal moment\, he has developed a powerful and personal visual language that blends abstraction\, symbolism\, geometry\, and landscape. \nHis works often begin with layered and expressive backgrounds. From this abstract foundation\, he constructs environments and structures—typically using painter’s tape to shape forms\, pathways\, and geometric compositions. Kenneth’s pieces feature vibrant acrylics\, hand-drawn details\, spray paint\, pastels\, and oil glazes. His process allows for both spontaneous expression and structured design\, reflecting the balance between chaos and order in life. \nKenneth’s artistic practice is rooted in passion\, energy\, and intuition. He lives a creative and stress-free life\, often painting for hours at a time in his gallery/studio\, the KJL Art Sanctuary in Ewing\, NJ. This space serves not only as his personal studio but also as a gallery and community hub for exhibitions\, paint parties\, and workshops. It accommodates up to 20 people and is available by appointment. \nHis work has been exhibited in public and private spaces throughout New Jersey and beyond—including Capital Health Gallery in Hopewell\, the Hamilton Township Library (where his works have rotated every six months for over six years)\, Trenton Public Library\, Starbucks Trenton\, Ewing Municipal Building\, Trenton Social\, and numerous group exhibitions. He has upcoming solo shows and large-scale projects scheduled through 2026. \nKenneth J. Lewis Sr. is driven not by academic theories or traditional rules\, but by the emotional and spiritual force behind creation. His mantra\, “One moment. One muse. One masterpiece\,” captures the essence of his work: deeply human\, rooted in experience\, and boldly expressive. \nAbout Trenton City Museum \nTrenton City Museum is housed in Ellarslie Mansion\, an 1848 Italianate villa in the heart of Trenton’s historic Cadwalader Park\, which was designed by the legendary Frederick Law Olmsted. The building\, which is on the National Historic Register\, is owned by the City of Trenton and operated by the nonprofit Trenton Museum Society\, founded in 1973. The museum explores and celebrates Trenton’s history and culture\, showcases contemporary art\, artists\, and performers\, and offers a variety of community gatherings\, classes\, and workshops throughout the year for all ages. Hours are Thursdays through Saturdays\, 12 to 4 p.m.; Sundays\, 1 to 4 p.m. There is no admission to view exhibits; donations are welcomed. \n### \nCaption: Left to right: Artists Kenneth J.

(the musical project of Gabe Dominguez) performing a rousing set filled with Ecotopian mischief and other such joys! \nAll ages are welcome\, but keep in mind that Carsie and Gabe are both bold & playful musical revolutionaries and some of their lyrics may veer towards PG-13 elements at times 😊 \nA reminder that every dollar you spend – on your ticket\, on a piece of artwork\, or on a snack at the event – will go directly to Middle East Children’s Alliance\, to serve the children of Gaza.

SUMMARY:Behind the Lines: Female Followers of the Continental Forces
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 10th at 7:30 PM via Zoom as we mark the semiquincentennial with a fresh perspective on the American Revolutionary War\, one that centers the often-overlooked women who supported the Continental Army camp.  Who were these women\, and why did they follow the army? \nHistorian Samantha Allison’s presentation illuminates the vital role of female camp followers: the women who marched alongside military units\, performing the essential labor that sustained the army’s daily operations.  The presentation also explores how military authorities navigated the presence of female followers. Officers sought to balance the practical necessity of support services with the demands of discipline and logistics\, revealing a complex relationship between these women and the army. \nDrawing on military records and pension applications\, Allison situated female camp followers within the broader structure of the Continental Army\, showing how their contributions were woven into the very fabric of military administration during the Revolutionary War. \nFree Registration:  https://tinyurl.com/ythd6bpm \nPresenter Bio:\nSamantha Allison is a historian and historical consultant specializing in early American history\, with a focus on military life\, material culture\, and the experiences of civilians and followers of the Continental forces. She is known for her engaging storytelling across a range of media.  Currently\, Allison serves as Civilian Programs Coordinator at Washington Crossing Historic Park. \nHer screen credits include serving as historical advisor for the independent film The Loyalist (2019)\, on-camera historian for two episodes of the PBS series Treasures of New Jersey\, and contributor to the new Valley Forge Visitor Center film produced for the National Park Service. Most recently\, she contributed research and appeared on screen in Ken Burns’ The American Revolution (2025)\, focusing on the daily labor of camp followers. \nThrough her scholarship and her media work\, Allison is dedicated to illuminating the lived experiences of ordinary people-especially women-whose essential labor shaped the course of American history. \nAbout DRGP \nThe Delaware River Greenway Partnership (DRGP) periodically sponsors lectures about different aspects of the Delaware River’s cultural\, recreational\, and natural heritage. An environmental nonprofit\, DRGP supports the Delaware River Scenic Byway\, the Lower Delaware Wild & Scenic River\, the Delaware River Water Trail\, and the Delaware River Heritage Trail. \nTo view previous Heritage Lectures\, visit https://www.youtube.com/@delawarerivergp. \nIf you enjoy our Heritage Lectures\, please donate https://delawarerivergreenwaypartnership.org/index.php/donate. \nThank you to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation of Natural Resources for financial support of the 2026 Heritage Lectures.

SUMMARY:Washington Crossing West Windsor
DESCRIPTION:A reenactment of Washington crossing West Windsor during the night of January 2–3\, 1777\, on his march to the Battle of Princeton\, showcasing the local township’s vital contributions to American independence during the Ten Crucial Days. \nThe reenactment features seventh-generation descendants of the historic Flock family as narrators. The family’s later homestead hosted the capture of British cavalrymen\, an event that provided the crucial intelligence General Washington needed to pivot toward the Battle of Princeton. Furthermore\, family members served as direct eyewitnesses to the historic West Windsor march. Today\, these descendants speak for their fourth-generation granduncle\, aunt\, and cousin.
