OceanFirst Foundation Awarded Monmouth Museum a $2,500 Grant

(LINCROFT, NJ) -- OceanFirst Foundation recently awarded the Monmouth Museum an Arts and Cultural Grant Award of $2,500.00 to sponsor the Green Arts Studio Arts Education Program in the Museum’s Becker Children’s Wing. The Green Arts Studio fosters creativity as children discover new crafting experiences. This Museum Studio brings out the artist in children of all ages as they work with recycled materials to create amazing works of art. Every Wednesday a teaching artist is in the studio with the children from 2:00pm until 5:00pm. The Studio is also supported by the community who donate their recycled materials to the Museum.

In 2017, $125,000.00 was awarded to support special programs, events and advertising. OceanFirst, recognizes that supporting local arts and cultural organizations is key to the growth and development of our economy, particularly here in central and southern New Jersey where tourism is so important to maintaining the health and vitality of communities. OceanFirst Foundation is committed to providing support grants to organizations that can demonstrate that they are a positive catalyst for bringing people and neighborhoods together while providing enriching arts and cultural opportunities.

The Monmouth Museum, founded in 1963 as a Museum of Ideas, presents changing art, history and science exhibitions to educate and entertain while providing a destination for creative expression and life-long learning to the diverse community it serves.
