Engaging the Arts in RevolutionNJ

New Jersey's rich arts community has a unique opportunity to engage their audiences with a once-in-a-generation initiative. RevolutionNJ, a collaboration between the New Jersey Historical Commission and the non-profit Crossroads of the American Revolution, is the state's official commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026. This initiative was developed with the hope of inspiring communities, organizations, and institutions to explore New Jersey's role in American history, drawing lessons from the past to apply to the present and future. Arts and cultural organizations across New Jersey are in an unparalleled position to engage the public with New Jersey's role in the American story through public arts and placemaking.
This free informational workshop was recorded on Thursday, January 18, 2024 where arts organizations and artists learned how some arts organizations have already integrated the broad goals, themes, and audiences that frame RevolutionNJ into new and existing programming.
