encourage independent curators to organize visual-arts events. Pro Arts
awards small grants and provides support for larger grants through
our non-profit status. Advocacy for arts-friendly legislation is a
means by which Pro Arts has assisted the City of Jersey City to
encourage affordable live/work spaces for artists, as part of the
coalition of artists organizations state-wide to ensure public funding
for the arts.
Art Eat-Up is a

The Hudson County Art Center is a Pro Arts
vision. We are working towards the establishment of a multi-use arts
space open to the general public for a variety of events and
programming and available for professional artists as studio,
rehearsal, meeting and art classroom space. The Center will serve the
full roster of Hudson County’s myriad arts groups, particularly
grassroots and emerging artists that do not have regular use of a
high-quality arts space.
The Pro Arts FYI page and events calendar provides information on calls for work and events.
The Pro Arts gallery page allows all member artists to upload images of and information about their work.
