Pro Arts Jersey City is an all volunteer non-profit 501c3 that relies on the participation of our members to develop and implement our varied programming. The camaraderie and friendships that form from collaborating with like-minded people has sustained Pro Arts over the years and built it into a recognized arts leader in New Jersey. Our member-volunteers have abundant opportunity to rise through the ranks and develop both curatorial and leadership skills, which often positions them to leverage the Pro Arts reputation in interesting and advantageous ways.
