3 min read

The school season has started, and September is here. We know you're hitting the ground running with programs, grants, and more, and that makes it difficult to stay on top of deadlines like the New Jersey State Council on the Arts GOS & GPS grant and the County Cultural & Heritage Commission Re-grants. SJCA's Organization & Artist Newsletter is here to support you and keep deadlines and information front-and-center to make your day-to-day work easier. We are a community, and everyone's success helps make the entire region successful.


If you or anyone on staff has some spare time, stop by and say hi at some of the upcoming events and programs where you can find us this month. We’d love to see you there.


Catch Us out in the Community!
