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.
