As a non-profit organization, the West Windsor Arts Council’s mission is to cultivate the artist within us all, while inspiring a creative community that is engaged, inclusive and equitable. We present a range of multi-disciplinary arts programs for all ages including 175 arts and cultural events. This includes 6 free art exhibitions in our beautiful gallery, 3 free community arts and music festivals, 130 arts workshops and classes in visual, performing, and literary arts, 18 full day camps for children, as well as concerts, literary events, social service opportunities, and more. In addition, West Windsor Arts offers arts scholarships based on need and partners with local service organizations to break down the barriers to arts education and participation.

To support an enriched life for all, West Windsor Arts commits to championing policies and practices of cultural equity that empower a just, inclusive, and equitable region. We believe that equity is crucial to the long-term viability of both the arts and culture sector and communities-at-large.
