Performing Arts Center

New Jersey Stage was MADE for promoting performing arts centers and we’d love to work with you as well!

Every event at your venue can benefit from our promotion and every show throughout the ad’s run will get an individual event page.

Most performing arts centers that advertise with us choose to take advantage of our pre-paid yearly special of $1,000 for a complete year of coverage. This ensures that all of your events throughout the year will have individual event pages. We maintain our event calendar each week, adding and removing shows based on the venue’s website.

But you are welcome to purchase ads for a single month as well.

$50 - a banner ad in one of our best ad locations, an event page for each event, and enhanced editorial

$75 - two banner ads in our best ad locations, an event page for each event, and enhanced editorial

$100 - gets you a set of four different banner ad sizes, an event page for each event, and enhanced editorial

Your event pages and show previews are spotlighted in our Events of the Week columns each Tuesday - always one of our most read articles of the week.

If you’re looking for promotion, but are on a shoestring budget, we also offer event pages for $10 per event. These get spotlighted in our Events of the Week columns as well.

Each ad is placed in the ad genre rotation that fits it best and in our run of site rotation. We have ad rotations for art, books, comedy, community, dance, film, kids, music (plus special rotations for classical, jazz, and rock/pop), and theatre.

Note: if your event does not fall into a specific category, it will be shown in our community ad rotation and general run of site ad rotation.

Your performing arts center will also get an enhanced listing on our venue links page with a logo, social media links, and more.
