About the Council

We believe the arts are central to every element we value most in a modern society including: human understanding, cultural and civic pride, strong communities, excellent schools, lifelong learning, creative expression, and economic opportunity.

In 1966, the legislature passed and the governor signed a law creating the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, 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.

In New Jersey, we know that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. The New Jersey State Council on the Arts embraces the principles of diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI) in all aspects of our work. With a focus on learning, data, and accountability, we will continue to assess and challenge inequities, identify gaps in engagement and service, and focus on the details that shape systemic change.



PLEASE NOTE: Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Please be sure to submit prior to 5PM ET on July 19, 2024.
