Welcome to Perkins Center for the Arts
Perkins Center for the Arts is dedicated to excellence in the arts and to providing a wide range of creative opportunities for people of all ages and of every level of artistic development. Since 1977, Perkins Center for the Arts has been providing arts opportunities to the Southern New Jersey Region and beyond. Today Perkins Center for the Arts has locations in both Moorestown and Collingswood. Central to our mission is the belief that artists and the language of the arts are ideal for perceiving and interpreting the complex modern world in which we live. Perkins Center is unique in its ability to provide high quality art programs in a grassroots community setting.
Perkins Center's programs include: Studio Classes in the visual and performing arts; a Conservatory with individual and group music lessons; an Exhibition Series featuring emerging and established artists in our Moorestown and Collingswood facilities; a Performance Series including a Family Concert Series (classical) and DeCafé Coffeehouse (folk/contemporary); a Summer Arts Program (day camp) bringing urban and suburban children together for eight weeks of art exploration; an ARTS (Arts Reaching The Students) Program matching professional artists with schools for extended residencies; and a Community Collaborations Program featuring an Out-of-School arts program, a Junior Training Artist teen employment program and a Murals and Community Gardens initiative in the City of Camden.
Recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a Major Presenting Organization and receiving a Citation of Excellence, Perkins Center offers arts programs that promote participation, understanding, and communication among diverse audiences.
As a non-profit organization, Perkins Center receives financial support, donations and services from members, friends, businesses, corporations and foundations. Perkins Center is funded, in part, by a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
