GIVE US A HAND OR TWO
On Saturday, March 10, TAWA members will be installing the CAPITAL CITY COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY EXHIBITION at Artworks. This is the first time that we can remember when four central New Jersey art departments were brought together to have a show in our state's capital. It's a good idea for a variety of reasons. However, with all good ideas, it doesn't happen by itself. We have students and artists coming to Artworks at 10 a.m. this Saturday, March 10. However, we may need some additional assistance. If you are available, please drop us a line at tawaexhibits@aol.com and let us know (leaving name, phone number). We'll know more by the end of the week. If you want to drop in, that would be fine too. It's always good when artists show up to help show art. Thanks. Dan Aubrey

FYI -- Artists Needed to Help NJ Water Project
One Barrel at a Time Co-op 2012
The Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program is coordinating the “One Barrel at a Time Co-op,” where artists beautify rain barrels to be auctioned off to the public.
The goal of the “One Barrel at a Time Co-op” is to help the environment by having residents bid on beautiful rain barrels that help save water and reduce rain water from entering the storm drain system, thereby preventing flooding and pollution from entering New Jersey’s lakes and streams. By engaging local artists, we hope to make rain barrels more appealing to the general public while bringing local art to a wider audience.

OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS
The Hiltonia Association of Trenton invites artists to exhibit work during the first Hiltonia House Tour, scheduled to be held on Saturday May 5th, 2012, from 12:00 noon through 5:00 pm (rain or shine) and feature over ten houses throughout Hiltonia.
Hiltonia, a residential community of 315 homes located approximately 3 miles from downtown Trenton in the western part of the City, was created in the early 1920’s by Samuel Hilton, a local developer. The original layout of Hiltonia features stately homes, wide, tree-lined avenues, large landscaped lots, with neighborhood boundaries of a canal, Cadwalader Park, and state-owned lands. Today, the beauty of Hiltonia is in the diversity of its housing stock—from fieldstone Tudors to brick Dutch colonials, Cotswold cottages, large split levels to mid-century modern ranches, as well as attached townhouses (semis), built first as workers’ cottages to provide the funding needed to jump start the rest of the development.
Artists interested in participating should contact the president of the Hiltonia Association, Elise Mannella, at Nella1454@gmail.com.
