What makes The jersey art exchange unique?
We are creating an arts community that will ignite economic growth and inspire neighborhood consciousness.
Our coalition, formed from the thriving existing community, consists of artists, educators, musicians, business owners and families. We want to grow the community by acting as educators and muses for youth in the area. How will we do it? We are pursuing the following initiatives:
GALLERY SPACE
Provides exhibition space for arts and media programming. Artists exchange ideas and experiences with the community.
ARTISTS STUDIOS
Provides studio spaces for emerging and established artists. Artists in Residence exchange skills & knowledge with teen members of the Arts & Tech Program.

“I owe a lot to The Clubhouse. I learned a lot, not just about [technology] but myself. As a result of the positive reinforcement I stayed in school where before I did not care. The Clubhouse was my U-turn. Since then I have passed all my classes and made up for lost ground.”
