Morris Arts

Morris Arts' guiding principles include the belief that the arts are vital to the area's social fabric and economic prosperity, act as a catalyst for social change, and enrich the lives of everyone in the community. Their varied programs and services serve to inspire, connect and engage. They include arts education programs for children in grades K-12, the creation of innovative community-building arts events, including concerts, gallery walks, and public art exhibits, and support of area artists and arts organizations through funding, advocacy, and professional development.

Their reputation for excellence is built upon their position as a trusted resource in connecting educators, artists, and community members in unique collaborations. Their almost 250 activities, events, and programs, along with the 381 programs and support through local grants, reach an audience of nearly 325,000 residents across northern New Jersey each year, including children, artists, at-risk youth, educators, seniors, and families, thousands of which are low and moderate-income constituents from across 11 counties.
