Our Mission

The Garden State Arts Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, was established in 1984 by the New Jersey Highway Authority. The foundation provides free programs for school children, senior citizens and families at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel and at various outreach locations throughout the state. The Foundation, endeavoring to maintain a classical/cultural performance presence at the Arts Center, also annually underwrites traditional musical programs free-of-charge to open to all.

Through its Thomas H. Kean Scholarship Program, the Foundation annually awards scholarships to students attending New Jersey colleges/universities and pursuing performing arts undergraduate degrees.
