The New Jersey Mayors Committee on Arts and Culture is a statewide initiative to increase communication and share information with municipal leaders about the many ways arts and culture improve community life, bridging the gap between municipal leaders and the transformative power of the arts.
The goal of the Mayor’s Committee is to provide mayors and local leaders with the tools, insights, and connections they need to integrate arts and culture into their community development strategies and better leverage the arts for economic growth, civic engagement, and quality of life.
ArtPride New Jersey, in collaboration with the NJ State Council on the Arts, has participated in the NJ League of Municipalities Conference since 2005 and hosted panel discussions on topics ranging from arts education to building partnerships that help achieve social justice, civic identity, public health and safety, and economic revitalization using cultural resources. The NJ Mayors Committee on Arts and Culture extends that collaborative relationship to share information and best practices through this network.
