The arts are essential in building vital communities. Meaningful arts programming has the power to connect us as a society and revitalize us as individuals. Art plays a fundamental role in a well-rounded educational system as well as a prospering economy. Communities that integrate art into their culture posses a universal language with which to interpret the past and envision the future. Central Jersey has an incredibly rich and diverse cultural landscape. CJAC ensures communities have access to everything this region has to offer.
Located at the Blazing Star Cultural Arts Center, 63 Carteret Avenue.
