Merzatta Trunk Show at Heart of the Home You have been loving all of the Merzatta pieces in our shop, so we are thrilled to be inviting Danielle and her amazing wearable works of art to our shop. We are so excited for them to come visit us for a Trunk Show on Sunday June 28 from 11am to 5pm. Even if you don't plan to purchase anything, you will not want to miss seeing so many beautiful pieces here all at once to try on.
Join us to learn about ArtYard’s mission of incubating new work and supporting transformational art and take a look behind the scenes to see where the magic happens.
On this journey across ArtYard’s four buildings in Frenchtown, you’ll be led by a knowledgeable guide and taken behind the scenes of ArtYard’s main building, workshop space, and artist residency, sharing insights into our artists’ work and the inspiration behind it all. The group will also stop at Studio Route 29 and FiNNBAR, ArtYard’s creative partners and frequent collaborators. Feel free to ask questions along the way!
Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious about the creative process, this tour is sure to spark your creativity and inspire you.
Campus tours take place on the first Sunday of the month between May and November. Each tour lasts approximately one hour, and includes a short, gentle walk on the rail trail along the Delaware River and into downtown Frenchtown. Some spaces may be off-limits during residencies.

Bastille Day, also known as the national day of France, or la Fête nationale (National Day), is essentially the French Fourth of July. It is celebrated on July 14th each year, which marks the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, a turning point of the French Revolution. This holiday is celebrated in multiple cities and countries across the globe, including France, where it originated, and often features military parades, meals, dances, parties and fireworks. We do it a little bit different in Frenchtown, as we tend to do naturally, but folks seem to enjoy it... and they keep coming back.
Beat the heat and join Lindsey from Coyote Ridge Homestead in the tasting room at Federal Twist Vineyard to try some of the incredible wines! We create pressed flower lanterns with flowers pressed from the farm.
Ticket includes all materials, wine tasting, and charcuterie! Sign Up Here!
Join Lisa Naples Clay Studio in Frenchtown July 17th for a Demonstration and Conversation with one of Lisa's favorite young potters: Lynne Hobaica from Ashville, NC.

Lynne will also share recipes and her idiosyncratic use of tools.
