The Arts and Education District is a culturally and economically diverse neighborhood of the downtown area of Newark, NJ, that will highlight arts and educational institutions, galleries, downtown parks, restaurants, and major transportation hubs within the area.
MISSION
The mission of the Arts & Education District is to promote and celebrate arts and educational institutions and the downtown parks that contribute to Newark’s cultural vibrancy. The district will serve as a unified and structural approach to the organization of arts and cultural programming for residents and visitors to enjoy.
As we work together to build an educated, equitable and collaborative city, the long historical arts & cultural legacy will be preserved.
By enhancing the cultural value of the City’s creative and economic life through collaboration, education, community inclusion, and innovation, residents and local businesses will benefit from a new vision for the area defined by arts, culture, equity, and sustainability; attracting more investment and liveable communities. The key is to ensure that the District serves Newark residents first, both as a center of fun and economic opportunity.
