The Hunterdon County (NJ) Teen Arts Festival is coordinated through a partnership between the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission, the Hunterdon County Library, the Hunterdon County 4H, Hunterdon County schools, and Hunterdon County nonprofit arts organizations. Open to all 13 to 19-year old students who attend school in Hunterdon County, NJ, this event provides a forum for students to showcase their talents through exhibitions of visual art, theatrical presentations, dance, vocal and instrumental music performances, and presentations original film and creative writing. Students experience the work of their peers and receive constructive feedback from professional artists. This project is made possible with funds from the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
