Discover Jersey Arts communities at the ABC Cultural Planning conference

New Jersey cities, towns and other communities are invited to highlight their arts and cultural activities at the Arts Build Communities Cultural Planning Leadership conference.  The conference will be February 11, 9 to 4 pm, at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.

Any community with at least one representative at the conference will have the chance to provide brochures and other handouts, or have tabletop displays to promote their community.  Communities will get a lot of visibility: The exhibits will be in the same area that participants get their meals and walk through to go from session to session.  Because of space limitations, each community will share a table with another community.

Space is limited and is provided on a first-come, first-served basis to those registered for the conference.

This opportunity is eligible only to workshop registrants and is for the purpose of promoting arts activities in communities.  For example, an arts organization based in Vineland is welcome to exhibit information about Vineland and the arts and cultural organizations in the community.  In other words, the purpose is to promote the community, not a single organization.

Registrants from the same community should work together on a display.  To reserve a space and find out if other members of your community are registered for the conference, please contact Conference Manager Deborah Schulze at schulze@eden.rutgers.edu or 732-932-3822, x635
