Local Cultural Links

Mercer County has a resplendent array of local arts, cultural and historic places to visit and things to do. The Division's quarterly Newsletter/Cultural Calendar highlights some of the many cultural opportunities offered in the County; and the monthly C&H FYI email calendar identifies supplemental events for you to check out.

Major funding for all of the Division's activities and grants programs is provided by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the New Jersey Historical Commission. We are honored to be partnering with these two state offices in our work supporting the cultural organizations and sites within Mercer County.  

The Division's work is also supported by the administration of County Executive Brian M. Hughes, and the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

The following county arts and historic groups are Grantee Organizations supported through the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Division's LAP and History ReGrants Programs.
