For the Love of the Loom—The Fine Art of Weaving will open at the New Hope Arts Center with a public reception on November 16, 2019. Extending through January 5, 2020, this exhibition of contemporary weaving is a timely contribution to the current wave of renewed interest in fine art textiles. It will feature the work of seven contemporary tapestry artists with diverse techniques and artistic expressions. These artists demonstrate that weaving—one of the most ancient human technologies—is a medium that can be deeply rooted in tradition, and at the same time highly relevant in the digital age. A new generation is discovering beauty and tangible meaning in textiles, which reconnect us with tactile experience in an increasingly ephemeral world.

Guiseppes Pizza in Lambertville is offering 15% off dinner before or after the show. Just bring a print out of your ticket purchase or show on your phone.

Swifty the Arctic fox works in the mail room of the Arctic Blast Delivery Service but dreams of one day becoming a Top Dog (the Arctic’s star husky couriers). To prove himself worthy of the Top Dog role, Swifty secretly commandeers one of the sleds and delivers a package to a mysterious location. He stumbles upon a secret fortress where he comes face to face with Otto Von Walrus, a blubbery evil genius who walks around on mechanical legs and commands a loyal army of oddly polite puffin henchmen.

A friendly, supportive environment for families with a loved one with special needs. Adaptations to the performance are slight, including: lower sound levels, elimination of potentially startling special effects and lighting, house lights on at about 20%, relaxed house rules — you are free to get up, move around, and leave whenever you need to, allowed use of iPads and other electronics for therapeutic uses,
volunteers scattered throughout the theater to assist and direct audience members as needed and
quiet areas and activity areas in the lobby for taking a break. Plus fidget objects and earplugs available
certified staff, ushers, and volunteers from a wide variety of autism service agencies, schools, and organizations. This acclaimed event has become a favorite tradition of area residents and holiday visitors alike.
Clara and her friends will take you on an enchanting voyage to meet magical mice, giant rats, marching soldiers, swirling snowflakes, waltzing flowers and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy. Brilliant costumes and elaborate sets draw the audience into a heart-lifting marvelous journey that ushers in the seasonal spirit. Audiences can also expect a visit from Santa and his jolly friends during the performance!
