About The 2025 Brunch
Hosted by Isles through the Creek to Canal Creative District in partnership with Much Better Studios, the brunch created a welcoming space for Trenton’s creative community to meet one another, exchange ideas, build new relationships, and learn more about opportunities within Downtown Trenton.
The event also introduced the community to the Trenton Arts in Focus plan and the vision behind the Creek to Canal Creative District.
A major moment of the event was the announcement of the inaugural Trenton Creative Network Grant, a $10,000 funding opportunity that would ultimately award four local creatives $2,500 each to bring community-focused projects to life within the Creek to Canal Creative District.
