Trenton Creatives Networking Brunch 2026
About The 2026 Brunch
The 2026 Trenton Creatives Networking Brunch brought together local artists, creatives, and community members for an afternoon of meaningful conversations, inspiration, and connection.
This year's event featured a panel discussion highlighting three recipients of the 2025 Trenton Creative Network (TCN) Grant: Raven George, Habiyb Shuaib, and Joseph Deacon. Each artist shared insights into their grant-funded projects, what inspired their ideas, and how their work connects to the Creek to Canal Creative District's mission of supporting local artists, strengthening community connections, and bringing arts and culture into Downtown Trenton.

The brunch also marked the official launch of the 2026 Trenton Creative Network Grant, a $10,000 funding opportunity designed to support four artists with awards of $2,500 each. Through this program, artists are encouraged to develop creative projects that engage the community, foster collaboration, and advance Creek to Canal's mission.
More than a networking event, the brunch provided an opportunity to celebrate the impact of past grant recipients while inspiring a new group of artists to bring their creative visions to life and contribute to Trenton's growing arts community.
