About NJ Arts Collaborative

For many years, dancer/choreographer Andrea Kramer felt that the talent of her home state was being over-shadowed and over-looked because of its proximity to NYC. So in 2002, she and a group of eager artist friends formed New Jersey Arts Collaborative (NJAC). Her dream of connecting fine and performing artists and showing the strength and character that is New Jersey arts was finally realized.
