The arts are integral to what makes New Jersey a special place to live, work, visit, and raise a family. They breathe life into our communities, inspiring imagination and uniting people through shared experiences that strengthen social bonds and build community pride. The nonprofit arts sector brings more than 6.5 million people to our towns and cities, employs nearly 13,000 of our residents, and contributes $692 million to our state’s economy.
