Engaging
the Arts in the American Revolution
WHEN: Thursday, January 18, 2024, 12 PM
WHERE: Virtual
ADMISSION: Free, but registration is required 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.
Learn how some arts
organizations have already integrated the broad goals, themes,
and audiences that frame RevolutionNJ into new and existing
programming. This workshop session will include a brief overview
of the initiative, a highlight of existing programs and
partnerships, and a brainstorm Q&A session to identify
exciting opportunities to commemorate the 250th and beyond. The
session is free to attend, but registration is required.
