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 New Jersey State Council on the Arts is currently accepting applications for the 2021 Individual Artist Fellowship Program in the following categories: Crafts; Interdisciplinary (Performance and Visual Arts); Photography; and Playwriting/Screenwriting.
The New Jersey State Council on the Arts will distribute $492,700 in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds to help preserve jobs and stabilize arts organizations statewide.
During the COVID-19 crisis, the Arts Council will be compiling resources for artists and organizations who are experiencing personal or business losses due to the economic impact of the pandemic.
