The arts are essential in building vital communities. Meaningful arts programming can connect us as a society and revitalize us as individuals. Art is fundamental to a well-rounded educational system and a prospering economy. Communities that integrate art into their culture possess a universal language to interpret the past and envision the future. Central Jersey has a vibrant 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.
