Programs by Newark Arts Council

Newark's largest annual celebration of arts and culture. For five days each October, the Newark Arts Festival transforms the city into a stage, showcasing hundreds of artists, performances, and cultural experiences across every discipline.

Newark Arts Council’s signature annual gala brings together artists, civic leaders, and cultural champions for an evening of celebration and fundraising. Proceeds directly support artist grants, free community programming, and the infrastructure that keeps Newark's creative economy thriving.

Newark's creative living room. Located at 355 Broad Street in partnership with 
Russo Development, ArtSpace is a year-round gallery where local, regional, and national artists exhibit and sell work—and where the community gathers to 
experience art up close.

Newark Arts is now accepting programming and professional development ideas on a rolling basis. If you’re looking to program at Newark ArtSpace, our year-round gallery located at Vermella Broad Street, or have a compelling concept for a program, professional development session, or public event, we want to hear from you.
