Two Public Art Opportunities for New Jersey Artists!

TRANSITional Art Project:

Morris Plains Train Station

Deadline: June 4, 2026

The TRANSITional Art Project (TAP), a partnership of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and NJ TRANSIT, is a temporary public art program designed specifically for transportation hubs in New Jersey. The goals of TAP are to connect NJ TRANSIT customers with the surrounding community by bringing new and inspiring experiences to the spaces they pass through every day, as well as providing New Jersey artists both exhibition opportunities and a supportive environment in which to create public art.

Learn about the two current TAP opportunities at Morris Plains Station below.

Please note: Only North NJ artists are eligible (Counties: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, or Warren).

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.
