Major Funding at Arts Ed NJ has been cut! This is an urgent call to all who care about the work we do!
After years of reliable federal support, our substantial grant from the National Endowment for the Arts has been cut! This loss, combined with other funders redirecting their focus, threatens the core of our initiatives. We need to raise $275,000 to fill our budget gap. These cuts will impact our Professional learning for educators, Arts Ed Now advocacy campaigns, our Youth Arts Ed Council, and statewide research and data efforts. Together, we can ensure arts education remains accessible to all!
