Monmouth Arts champions the transformative power of the arts by offering a diverse range of arts programs and services that enrich the Monmouth County community. Our initiatives include the Creative Expressions Arts and Wellness Program for seniors, underserved youth, and adults in need; the Monmouth County Senior Art Show; the Folk Life Showcase; and the Monmouth Arts Teen Arts Festival. Additionally, we offer Emerging Artist Scholarships to support high school seniors pursuing the arts in higher education. Through our ArtHelps Local Arts Program Grants, we distribute over $130,000 annually to nonprofit arts organizations and community groups. We also provide workshops, art experiences, marketing support, and networking opportunities for the creative community.

 

We have observed firsthand the profound impact of our arts programs on individuals’ lives. A participant in our Creative Aging Program expressed appreciation, stating, “Thank you for this. I haven’t been too social lately, and having a reason to get out of bed and get here on Tuesdays has been so important.” Another young participant in our Creative Expressions program remarked, “The moment I took my first art class, it saved my life,” and another youth shared, “When I dance, I feel like I am better.”

 

We encourage you to support our ART CHANGES LIVES Appeal by donating to help sustain and expand Monmouth Arts’ vital programs and services.

​

 Our goal is to raise $25,000, and every contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us closer to making a real difference. To show our appreciation, we offer various donor recognition levels and benefits, including acknowledgment on our website and exclusive invitations to events and exhibition openings. 

​

We appreciate your support and commitment to making a difference in our community. Together, we can inspire, educate, and transform lives through the power of arts.
