Gateway to the Arts
Pre-selected grantees from our current Local Art Program are
invited to apply for additional grant funding through “Gateway to the Arts”,
a program designed to support and promote the talents and artistry of local
arts organizations by providing an opportunity to utilize the venues in the County. Gateway to the Arts has been generously funded by Johnson &
Johnson.
Workshops and
Programs
Middlesex County presents several professional
development workshops each year. The county engages professional experts in
various areas of cultural management. These consultants offer their expertise for
hands-on training, with the benefit of strengthening the infrastructure of
local, not-for-profit organizations.

Media use and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Art programs are offered in Piscataway,
