WOW. What a day. ❤️

More than 3,000 people came through TISCO property for Grounds for Art 2026, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better day.

The weather was incredible. The music was going all day long. The grounds were filled with art, makers, food, kids creating, people dancing, dogs, friends running into each other, and new connections happening everywhere.

And then there was HONK!

Their parade through the grounds and performance at TISCO brought an incredible energy to the afternoon and made the whole place feel like one giant celebration.

And you couldn't miss Disk-o-Sphere by Articulated Artwork. Stepping up the event to a whole new level.

But the best part?

Artists showed up. Makers showed up. Musicians showed up. Sponsors showed up. Volunteers showed up. Local businesses showed up. And more than 3,000 people showed up ready to explore High Bridge, make something, listen to music, eat, wander, and have a really good afternoon.

Four years in, Grounds for Art has become so much more than we imagined when we started.

It is art.
It is music.
It is play.
It is community.
It is a little weird.
It is a lot of fun.
And it belongs to all of us.

A HUGE thank you to every artist, maker, performer, sponsor, food vendor, volunteer, HB Borough, neighbor, and visitor who helped make Saturday what it was.

And especially to the High Bridge Creative Team - the people who have spent months making all of this happen behind the scenes. This is our crazy little labor of love, and we are so proud of what we are building together.

Thank you, High Bridge. ❤️

Before things get too busy, the High Bridge Creative Team wants to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU to all of our sponsors who showed up, believed in us, and believe in what Grounds for Art and supporting the arts can achieve.

In just four short years, we’ve built a connected community of creative-minded artists, volunteers, and go-getters who have come together to make this special festival a truly collaborative, creative space for celebration.

And we’ve created something more: a place of beauty to explore all 364 other days of the year. TISCO GreenAcres is a unique property brimming with history, nature, industry, and wonder.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of the individuals and businesses who invest in our creative community.

Thank you for believing in Grounds for Art. Thank you for believing in High Bridge. And thank you for helping us make something pretty special. ❤️🎨

A Shout Out to our Platinum Sponsors: High Bridge Dental, Quick Stop Fuel, And the Hunterdon County Cultural and Heritage Commission for investing in the arts in High Bridge and Hunterdon County.
