Located in a newly renovated, 1917 factory building, Roebling Gallery focuses on artworks relevant to urban living, with an emphasis on art and artists that promote social justice and community. We support emerging and newly established artists, connecting local artists to the regional art scene, and vice versa.

Our exhibits rotate 6 times per year, with an opening reception on the First Friday of every month, from 6 to 9 PM.

Key Goals

1. Establishing a unique venue that serves urban art lovers looking for relevant work at reasonable prices.
2. Attracting a broad cross-section of Trenton’s creative community, connecting them to the unique, emerging community of Roebling Lofts residents.
3. Exposing regional artists and art lovers to the City of Trenton.

It developed Roebling Lofts as the Phase 1 development of Roebling Center, a mixed-use development that will provide residences, offices, restaurants, and retail amenities on the Block-3 site of the former John A. Roebling Sons Company campus.

Roebling Lofts LogoRoebling Lofts LLC provides the display space, and sponsors the monthly, "first-Friday" receptions. Roebling Lofts, Trenton's premiere rental community, opened in late-2017.

All of the income derived from the sale of artwork or sponsorships is reinvested into this exhibition series. Neither Roebling Gallery nor any of the sponsors profit from the sale of artwork.
