Express Newark is a center for socially engaged art and design where people can create art together, learn collaboratively, and build coalitions to advocate for change. Express Newark honors our city’s historical legacy as an epicenter of art and activism by being a third space that bridges the campus and community and supports contemporary artists dedicated to social justice in Newark and beyond.
Express Newark
“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
Joel Wachs, President
