Welcome!


The Newark Arts Council was created to advance and expand the artistic and cultural resources of the City of Newark, New Jersey.

The agency provides leadership, direction, and technical assistance through partnerships with Newark's many artists, arts administrators, community organizations, community development corporations, planning groups, economic development agencies, and the general public.

Our goal is to share resources, promote advocacy efforts, assist in audience development and public awareness of arts and culture, and to serve as a cultural resource to the community.

Celebrating Art, Style and Music

Newark Arts Council was thrilled to bring Art & The City to Newark once again on Thursday, June 11! This year’s event celebrated Art, Style and Music in the dramatic setting of The Mezzanine at 744 Broad St., and brought together some of Newark’s finest artists, fashion designers and students. We want to thank all the artists, designers, students, and everyone that made Art & the City 2009 a great success.
