The New Jersey State Council on the Arts is pleased to announce the launch of a virtual series of Arts & Health Roundtables to bring together New Jersey organizations actively involved in the arts and health field, as well as those interested in getting involved. The sessions are designed to be spaces to network, share resources, and drive partnership, all toward the goal of understanding what’s needed to strengthen and support arts and health initiatives statewide.  

Arts & Health Roundtables will be held this April and May, organized in two different tracks that will converge in June. All sessions are free, but registration is required.

Track for Arts Organizations: New Jersey arts organizations of all sizes and artistic disciplines involved in arts and health or interested in getting involved.

Track for Community Partners: New Jersey organizations including, but not limited to funders, representatives from health, human services, and insurance organizations, and state entities involved in arts and health or are interested in getting involved.

Combined Session: The final roundtable will be a chance for all organizations to come together.

All sessions will be held from 1:00 - 2:30 PM. (Please note: These sessions will not include discussions about funding or grant programs.)

The New Jersey State Council on the Arts, created in 1966, is a division of the NJ Department of State and a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The Council was established to encourage and foster public interest in the arts; enlarge public and private resources devoted to the arts; promote freedom of expression in the arts; and facilitate the inclusion of art in every public building in New Jersey. The Council believes the arts are central to every element we value most in a modern society including: human understanding; cultural and civic pride; strong communities; excellent schools; lifelong learning; creative expression; and economic opportunity.
