Finally, I have arrived!! It's been on my bucket list to come here and what an opportunity it was to catch the very last day of a very special show . Suleika Jaouad and Anne Francey: The Alchemy of Blood Jun 22--Oct 6, 2024 The mother daughter art show . it was very touching to see this You can see the mother's art . She made it while she was pregnant with Suleika. And did the same show we see daughter Suleika living through her illness with leukemia. See the two women going through life and their wonderfully creative way. The ups and the uncertainties and pain, but all along and together. It really was beautiful . How wonderful the mother and introduced her daughter to the art of Frida Kahlo. A wonderful inspiration. it's wonderful how women can support each other and empower each other and so many ways. It really was beautiful to witness ! It's hard to say my favorite part of that particular exhibit. Maybe with Suleika and her dog laying in bed together. The beautiful comfortably get from pets and those around us. And the things around us like art and nature. Just having an appreciation for these things and finding comfort as much as possible. Being open to it. ~~~~ BIRTH WHEEL by Amy Johnquest I love the wheel of fortune Birth wheel. It was also interesting to see the other options available to other spinners. The life that we were born into by the people that we are born from... Or adopted by. the wheel of life and see what life gives you. Let me say that it was wonderful to be at this museum. As soon as I came in, I felt very welcome from the attendant. I enjoyed the gift shop Upstairs I could see that there is an opportunity to have a weekly evening drawing event. I can see there was a pig figure... And the results of a previous event to draw this pig . And it's obvious that people sat different positions around the pig. I enjoyed seeing all angles. All the different charming styles by local people who happen to attend. What is delightful place. So much so , I can't wait to come back !! read more

I went to an"art exhibition" at Art Yard and a guy found all these lobster traps and similar items while beach combing. I didn't see any skill at finding things that were other people's discards or a factory's creations. Maybe designing shaping, constructing, perfecting your craft and creating and having these created items to say with the artwork what it is you would like to say. But this was kind of like looking at someone's trash collection from beaches as no skill was noted in crafting, shaping, or sculpting or designing these found items and no talent or skills had to be perfected to get your artwork to be exactly as you want it to say what it is you want to say with your creations. But some degree of thanks may be due for cleaning the beach. Thanks for doing that though! I then went to a shoe exhibition (huh?) and was kind of sad when the "artist" cried poor when traveling to Europe. Poor people don't travel overseas that I know of they would most likely buy food, and how the family were not able to afford shoes (huh? again). Maybe skip that overseas trip and buy your kid some shoes? This person then acquired a large collection of shoes that all belonged to people that all were victims of gun violence and I believe they were all complete with name tags naming the victims(?). Her husband said there was no room in the barn so she actually made it known in an article she wrote how she then threw them all in a dumpster. As a person that has had a death in my family from gun violence, I find this to be unforgivable, insensitive, heartless, offensive and appalling. Then to tell everyone that you did this as if it was the right thing to do? Is this something to be proud of? Maybe there is something I may be missing when I ask this. I'm sadly going to call all this out as shameful. read more

We went here to see a show and pleasantly surprised it included seeing the current art exhibits while we waited. The theatre is comfortable and intimate. We found the art outside great as well! read more

What a waste of. Beautiful, state of the art building, to then turn around and showcase this version of what they are calling "art." I am sorry but not everyone can be an artist. Why not showcase some local art by people with actual talent, then people would come and it would be a much, much more enjoyable experience for them read more

This is a treasure in our midst. Very provocative and high quality exhibits that you would expect to see in NYC or Philly!

Wow!! The Memory Palace - what a fantastic show - concept and execution. Love the bridge shadow and water. Love the Library of found objects from the Delaware River - so artful displayed. And, a theater. What a wonderful resource for Frenchtown and out of town tourists. Great location right next to Lovin Oven - so you can grab lunch then see a show. Gallery hours: Wed. Through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM. read more

Had such a terrible experience there the other day. The visitor's service desk person was just in our faces at every turn of the bend and wouldn't allow us to just have our own experience. Completely tone deaf and didn't know how to read the room. We didn't require any hand holding. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Totally ruined the vibe. read more

I have not been to ArtYard's new location, at 13 Front St, Frenchtown, NJ. But I wanted to update this review, since they have moved to a brand new, purpose-built building. read more

This place is whacked. Require masks AND vaccination proof as of 3/11/22. Yes 3/11/22. When every other state, schools, lifted such mandates. I follow science and common sense. Frenchtown Inn should be fun after their purchase - NOT. Btw, after 1 week of inquiries regarding such Putin-esq commi mandates, I was informed only 24 hours prior, forcing me to cancel my pre-arranged party. Thanks for the short notice, and being super ignorant. read more

It's one of the places I never thought I would be lucky enough to have such easy access too; there is a mystery to the place, something inscrutable about it, like how did it end up in Frenchtown, and who are these wonderful minds behind the scene? I don't really want those questions answered; I just want it there giving its gift. When I heard the memory Palace was the name of the show I had to see it b/c I taught my kids the memory palace system of memorizing things (a tool left to us by the ancient Greeks) when they were homeschooling. It backs up to the the what we call in L.A. the Green Path; in Frenchtown it's the bike bath, a maintained wooded walking path along the Delaware. Lovely day out. read more
