We were pleased to receive art grants in 2018 and 2019. It enabled us to team up with local artists and offered a wide range of popular art classes to all ages in the community, as well as showcase the beauty and the creativity of the artists.
We were grateful to receive the history grants from 2016 through 2019 to support us to digitize our local newspapers, from 1900-1989, and made the database available for free access in-house and remotely. It is a great tool for researching the history, people, events and community development in the greater area of central New Jersey.
