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.
These Fellowships recognize lifetime achievement, artistic excellence, and contributions to our state's living traditional arts heritage. Nominations are now open!
Join New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Nonprofit Finance Fund, and other nonprofit leaders for a free Webinar Watch Party series on key financial management concepts for arts nonprofits.
The NJ State Council on the Arts is seeking grant review panelists for three upcoming grant opportunities: Creative Aging Initiative Grant, New Jersey Heritage Fellowships, Local Arts Program.
