What is JAM? |
The Jersey Arts Marketers (JAM) are a consortium of arts marketing professionals that work cooperatively toward furthering the mission of the Discover Jersey Arts program of increasing the awareness of and participation in the arts in New Jersey.
Formed through an initiative by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, each regional JAM group (North, Central and South) meets quarterly to address common issues, foster professional development, and coordinate a number of on-going cooperative marketing programs. Each regional group is led by a chairperson who, working in tandem with the Discover Jersey Arts (DJA) staff, strives to develop DJA as a statewide resource for both the cultural community and its patrons. Participation in JAM is free and open to marketing, promotions and public relations representatives from all New Jersey-based, nonprofit cultural organizations.

| Meetings |
Regional JAM meetings are held quarterly and hosted by participating JAM member organizations. Business meetings normally take place from 10:00am - 12:00pm and consist of the planning of on-going and future collaborative initiatives and presentations on a variety of audience development topics.
In addition to its regular business meetings, JAM coordinates two annual, regional Media Roundtable events (one in North Jersey and one in South Jersey). These day-long events begin with a morning "media panel" comprised of representatives from the regional press there to share information on how arts organizations can more effectively gain media coverage. The afternoon features a networking lunch followed by a series of professional development workshops. |
