SHINING A LIGHT ON THE ARTS OF SOUTH JERSEY
The arts are alive in southern New Jersey. In the studio, solo artists work their craft. Stone chips. Paint drips. Dots on paper dance a new tune. In the gallery hangs an original new show. At the museum, art lovers and artists gather for a gala art event. In the theater, musicians, dancers and actors collaborate in performance. At the school of arts, young artists explore new territory. It’s all happening, all here in south Jersey. And ArtC is at the center of it all. It’s a gathering place for artists – headquarters of art knowledge, listings, news, art classes and appreciation. ArtC exists to encourage, promote and appreciate the best of the best. It’s a resource for working artists and up-and-coming young talent, in visual arts, the performing arts and multimedia. ArtC is the gateway to the arts in southern New Jersey.
