New Jersey State Council on the Arts
In 1966, the legislature passed and the governor signed a law creating the NJ State Council on the Arts and directing us to do all that is necessary and appropriate to: support,
encourage, and foster public interest in the arts; enlarge public and private resources devoted to the arts; promote freedom of expression in the arts; and facilitate the inclusion
of art in every public building in New Jersey.
More about the Arts Council
The Council is excited to announce the 2019 Artists’ Fellowship Recipients.
NJ arts organizations are invited to apply to host a summer intern as part of the Diversity in Arts Leadership Internship Program.
Technical assistance is now available for the Council’s Fiscal Year 2020 GOS, GPS, and APS grant programs.
Take a look at our new strategic plan, driven by feedback from across the state.
ADA Plan technical assistance workshops are now available for Arts Council grantees.
