NJ Arts and Culture Administrators of Color
New Jersey Arts and Culture Administrators of Color (NJACAC) is a network of professional arts administrators of color dedicated to advancing efforts related to equity, diversity, and inclusion within New Jersey’s arts community. This initiative is a partnership between New Jersey Theatre Alliance, ArtPride New Jersey, and New Jersey State Council on the Arts. New Jersey Theatre Alliance spearheads this project to provide self-identified people of color working in the state’s arts organizations a safe space to connect, and a platform to share their expertise, experiences, and creativity.
NJACAC’s objective is to connect, empower, and cultivate professional arts and cultural leaders throughout the Garden State. The program aims to build a community that affords members the opportunity to develop personal and professional connections, share resources, and foster emerging leaders.
To date, there are currently over 250 members in the NJACAC network from diverse backgrounds, organizations, communities, and management levels.
Gatherings include mixers, educational programming, and listening sessions.
