ArtsBergen Initiative
The
Northern New Jersey Community Foundation’s ArtsBergen initiative, a regional
arts alliance, works with various stakeholders. These stakeholders encompass
artists, arts organizations, businesses and municipal leaders, who use the arts
to shape the social, physical, cultural, and economic identity of communities.
Creative placemaking, a community-led, arts-driven approach, is used to
increase vibrancy, spur economic development, and build capacity among
residents to take ownership of their communities.
ArtsBergen is the only initiative in Bergen County, New Jersey offering a
range of services in creative placemaking. The initiative has partnered with
multiple municipalities facilitating creative teams, developing public art and
creative placemaking plans, and directing and managing public art projects to
preserve and express community culture. For more information about the
ArtsBergen initiative, visit www.nnjcf.org/artsbergen/.
