By developing
world-class programming that brings daring and consequential work to
Jersey City from around the world and from very nearby, JCTC sparks
conversations about important topics that are locally relevant yet,
global in scope. We go directly into our schools; we work with
community organizers and educators; we provide incubator opportunities
for local artists; and we welcome artists, perspectives and cultures
from abroad… all of this so that JCTC can put into practice its deeply
held social change values, while serving our diverse community with
equity and inclusivity through the arts.
