“Broadway on Bloomfield” evenings with performers from Phantom of the Opera,
Beautiful on Broadway, Hamilton, Frozen, Once Upon a One More Time, and
more. Vanguard’s
season is made possible, in part, by a $92,000 grant by the New Jersey
State Council on the Arts, as part of the largest appropriation the Council has
ever received: $31.9 million as part of the New Jersey State budget approved by
Governor Murphy last month. Secretary
of State Tahesha Way addressed attendees at the meeting announcing the award,
commending the creativity and resiliency of arts organizations during the
pandemic. "The innovation New Jersey’s arts community has shown over these
last 16 months is absolutely awe-inspiring,” said Secretary Way.
“We
are grateful to Governor Murphy and the legislature for this monumental
increase in funding and for recognizing the need for robust public support of
the arts right now,” said Council Chair Elizabeth Mattson. “This funding is not
only vital to ensuring the arts can continue to move forward and innovate, but
will support important work to foster a more equitable and inclusive arts
community. We know there is still much work to be done, and we look forward to
working alongside our partners and colleagues in the field as we embark on a
new chapter together.”
