Launch Of 'The Circle' To Highlight ArtWRKD Fall Season In Newtown

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — ArtWRKD is opening its 2025 Fall Season with the official launch of The Circle, a membership-based community designed to foster purposeful connection, alongside a series of immersive performances, culinary gatherings, and celebratory events.

Launching Oct. 1, The Circle brings together leaders, innovators, artists, and change-makers through curated experiences, mentorship, and collaboration. Hosted in the private upper-level ArtWRKD Gallery in partnership with Triple Sun, The Circle will offer four dedicated membership branches — women, gentlemen, creatives, and creative teens — each gathering monthly. Two monthly Sunday Suppers will welcome all members to convene over shared conversation and culinary connection. Quarter memberships begin at $80 per member, and members may participate in multiple Circle groups.

The fall season officially opens on August 24 with Genesis – A Farm to Table Experience, a 25-seat long-table dinner held on a working farm in Ottsville, bringing guests into direct relationship with the land, ingredients, and community surrounding their meal.

On Sept. 13, ArtWRKD will celebrate its 3rd Anniversary Gala at The Historic Stocking Works. The black-tie event will feature an art auction in support of ArtWRKD’s expanding impact across the Bucks County creative community. Guests are encouraged to wear black and white in honor of the milestone aesthetic.

On Oct. 18, ArtWRKD will present "Her Becoming," an immersive performance led by Lucine Kaplan and featuring Shometha Monet. The work explores paralleled journeys of queer identity, femininity, and artistic discovery, culminating in an exclusive reveal of new artworks created for the event.

“Our fall season is rooted in the belief that art is not something we simply observe — but something we experience, create, and grow with,” said Ashara Shapiro, Founder of ArtWRKD. “The Circle embodies this philosophy, offering a place where ideas become action and relationships become legacy.”

The ArtWRKD Workshop & Exhibition Space is located at 126-128 South State Street, Newtown 18940. For information, call 646-924-7394 or email artcurator@artwrkd.com
