New Jersey Performing Arts Center

Description

• NJPAC started in 1986 as just a grand plan, a belief voiced by then-Governor Thomas H. Kean that New Jersey deserved its own world-class performing arts center. Ultimately it was decided there was no better place for a Jersey arts center to take root than in Downtown Newark; a building that would not only host the worlds greatest performers, but also act as the catalyst for revitalizing the states largest city.Since its opening season in 1997, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark has attracted more than 9 million patrons, plus 1 million children. The Arts Center's array of 400 unique events each season serves New Jerseys rich diversity of nationalities and ethnicities. Performers who have appeared recently in the acoustically superb, 2,800-seat Prudential Hall include Joshua Bell, El Gran Combo, Aretha Franklin, Audra McDonald, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Bonnie Raitt, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Stephen Colbert in conversation with Steve Carell, and Earth, Wind & Fire, among many others. Each season, NJPAC's Arts Education Department one of the top three largest at performing arts centers throughout the country engages more than 60,000 public school children via arts learning initiatives in schools, in NJPAC conservatory, and on its stages. The Arts Center has established itself as a home for broadcast by networks including BET, HBO, Comedy Central, PBS and NBC. NJPAC provides regular forums for convening New Jerseys citizenry to discuss significant issues of the day and symbolizes Newarks cultural renaissance (Forbes magazine).Today NJPAC is the artistic, cultural, educational and civic center of New Jerseywhere great performances and events enhance and transform lives every day.
