The function of art, Aristotle told us, is CATHARSIS
Asbury Park has a long history of providing catharsis through music, movies, galleries, theater, dance and more. The city’s artistic energy is a sustaining and transformative force. The Asbury Park Arts Council seeks to provide the support to ensure that the arts thrive.
Asbury Park Arts Council's work is sustained through the generous support of private, institutional and corporate partners who share our vision of an Asbury Park where all creative practices can thrive and coexist.
Asbury Park Arts Council’s programs are made possible, in part, with funds from:
AP PorchFest Asbury Sunset Grunin Foundation Madison Marquette Manasquan Bank Charitable Foundation Mary Owen Borden Foundation Monmouth Arts Monmouth County Covid 19 Community Recovery Grant Program for Non-Profits New Jersey Arts and Culture Renewal Fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation OceanFirst Foundation Russell Lewis & Watermark Sea.Hear.Now Festival Shrewsbury Foundation Vin Gopal Civic Association
