Discover how NJ took care of the arts during the COVID years (2020-2021) and learn how you can get involved with the many kinds of arts programs in The Garden State. Aging Insights TV host Cathy Rowe, DrPH, finds out the latest status on these sectors from Lynne Toye, inaugural Executive Director of the NJ Arts and Culture Renewal Fund.

The New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund (originally named the New Jersey Arts and Culture Recovery Fund) was established in 2020 to ensure the survival, strength and sustainability of the state’s arts, cultural and historical sector during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Fund has awarded nearly $4 million to arts and cultural venues throughout NJ.
