The COVID-19 Coronavirus situation led arts organizations and venues to cancel, postpone, and reschedule shows throughout the country. Many of these arts organizations are non-profits who are still struggling to rebound from this period. Sadly, many arts organizations had to close. Please consider making a donation to help these organizations going.
We have created a list of New Jersey based performing arts centers, professional and community theatres, film festivals, dance companies, orchestras, museums, and some non profit arts presenters. The list contains quick links to their donate pages. If you are an non profit arts organization that is not listed here, please email us with your name, town, and website url.
