Today, TCAT continues to partner with TASK to host a weekly visual arts program on Tuesdays at the soup kitchen and also runs its own art studio, "Studio 51," which is located at 51 N Stockton Street. Studio 51 functions as a workspace and gallery where Trenton artists can create and display their impressive artwork.
The exhibition will be on display during the library's normal operating hours throughout the summer. More information about TCAT can be found at tcateam.org.
