“State of The Arts takes you to the forefront of New Jersey’s expansive cultural landscape. The programs are imaginative, diverse, and exceptionally engaging.” Bill Charlap, Grammy-winning Jazz Pianist

State of the Arts has been going on location with New Jersey’s most creative people for years—with music, writing, theater, folk arts, photography, dance, visual arts, and more, we’ve got you covered. But what’s the best way to keep up with our stories, both new and old?

If you want to share that one story that you loved, or find that one piece you heard about, search for it on the PBS app (try “Guthrie at Greystone” or “Samara Joy”). Or look for it on the State of the Arts NJ YouTube channel—we upload all of our individual episode segments there. Subscribe so you don’t miss any of our new stories!

By the way, you can find hundreds of stories from our extensive archives on Youtube and our website, including this Max Roach gem from 1994, which has over 850,000 views on Youtube! Another highlight is Simply Steampunk, in which we stopped by the Morris Museum to check out an exhibition of extraordinary kinetic art.

And speaking of social media, you can find us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Linkedin, and Bluesky, where we share current episodes, links to blog posts, and more.

We love your comments, and read them all. Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to sharing our new stories for 2025!
