Studio Route 29 at NADA NYC Fundraiser

Please join us!

April 27, 2025 2-5pm

Studio Route 29 invites you to gather with us in springtime celebration for a day of art, food and drink in Frenchtown, NJ to help send us off to our first major art fair in NYC. Join us in a movement for change- transforming the landscape of contemporary art, and breaking down limiting perceptions of disability and creativity in the larger culture. 

This May, Studio Route 29 artists BJ Armour, Theo Baransky, and Michael Angelo Mangino will exhibit new works in our booth at NADA New York, a high profile art fair which has become the bellwether for new currents in the contemporary art world. As a progressive art studio supporting artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities, our gallery’s mission is to connect these artists with a broad public, particularly in places where these important contributions have historically been left out. Connecting new and exciting work to new audiences brings recognition and opportunity to the artists who work at Studio Route 29, as well as expands conceptions of how and where art is made, strengthening the art world and the world as a whole.

We invite you to come visit our vibrant studio and partners on the banks of the Delaware. We will begin at Studio Route 29 where you can take a tour led by Studio artist Theo Baransky, meet our founders, Kathleen Henderson, Hop Peternell, and Lydia Glenn-Murray, and learn about our studio, gallery, and special projects. Next stop is ArtYard, where we will have a chance to view our permanent exhibition space and hear from founder Jill Kearney about our groundbreaking partnership. And to wrap it all up we will continue down the tow path to FiNNBAR for snacks, drinks, music and conversation with chef and cookbook author Cal Peternell, formerly of Chez Panisse, and Ethan Stuart, general manager, wine expert, and artist.

We invite you to be part of a network of individuals and organizations working to bring this vital art and music into a world that we believe can only be made more connected, thoughtful, and joyous by it.
