The new jersey arts collective (NJAC) produces programs in the creative and performing arts that promote the work of living New Jersey artists and educate the general population about contemporary art. Beginning in 2001, NJAC has organized concerts of modern music by New Jersey composers, performed primarily by New Jersey musicians, under the name, Ionisation new music ensemble. In 2002, NJAC began incorporating theatre into its programs, and in 2006 added events that feature a visual art component. The organization continues to build interdisciplinary bridges between different forms of art. NJAC seeks out and creates opportunities that feature collaboration between the following disciplines: music, theatre, dance, creative writing and visual art. Financial support for NJAC activities comes primarily from four sources: grants and private foundations that help to fund programs in the arts; partnerships with arts and educational institutions providing financial, administrative and hosting support; program admission fees paid by individuals; and donations made by individual and corporate sponsors.
