Summary:

While there are many publications that list activities and calendars for the arts, there was a need for one complete listing. We have been engaged in the production of a weekly television program on the New Jersey arts, and needed to locate a unified source of information but found that none existed. We contacted the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and discovered that they had not published such a book. We then began work on this catalogue

Abstract:

The purpose of this catalogue is to present a unified source of information on the arts in New Jersey.

While there are many publications that list activities and calendars for the arts, there was a need for one complete listing. We have been engaged in the production of a weekly television program on the New Jersey arts, and needed to locate a unified source of information but found that none existed. We contacted the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and discovered that they had not published such a book. We then began work on this catalogue.

We have listed organizations and individuals without regard to their merits or the quality of their activities. The reader will have the addresses and information of the existing arts organizations, but it should be remembered that the New Jersey arts and cultural activities are in a constant state of flux and this means that a work of this type can quickly become out-of-date.

We cannot predict the value or uses of this volume, but it is our hope that artists will be able to locate places to perform and that businesses and professional organizations will find this information useful in their efforts to enlighten people regarding New Jersey's artistic community. This information should dispel the belief that New Jersey is a cultural wasteland.

There are several essays and reports throughout the book which expand upon the listed information. No subject is so replete with subjective attitudes and personal taste as are the arts. We realize that some readers will not share the same views of the different authors, but we do hope that readers will feel free to respond with suggestions and additional insights. (p. ix)
