About:
New Jersey is one of the oldest states and was part of the original colonies that rose up against the British monarch in the American Revolution. It follows therefore that the state has such a rich history that goes back to hundreds of years. It has played an important role in the development of the United States as a country and of Americans as a people. It has made a major contribution in many if not all of the major aspects of American life.
One of the fields where it has made such a huge impact is in the arts. From the time that it was a colony up to the outbreak of the Revolution it was the breeding ground for pioneers in the various disciplines of the arts. Contemporary artists are also coming up with new and innovating ideas there at this very moment.

New Jersey is also a ground for new and upcoming artists in the field of performing arts. You can catch the latest in theatre, dance and music in the many venues within the state.

At njartscouncil.org we would like to spread the knowledge that New Jersey is also a place for the arts. It might have been overlooked over the years as a destination for those who would like to see the latest when it comes to visual and the performing arts, but we would like to change that.
We aim to provide you with the best places to visit within the state to sample what it has to offer when it comes to painting, sculpture. Then there are the numerous theatre productions, concerts, dance performance and arts festivals that you can find all across the Garden State throughout the year.
When it comes to arts New Jersey is at the forefront of it all and we aim to deliver you the best and latest information about what you can find here.
