Gallery JC: Dewey Decimal System

Arts = # 700’s

Welcome to Gallery JC

You are invited to scroll down through the posts to find information for Arts and Culture at the Jersey Shore. Some general information and some specifically for Ocean and Monmouth Counties, NJ - USA, including the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region. Please check back periodically to find updates. Most are live links and may be clicked for direct access to the site or additional information.

The arts can make us think, spark our imagination and enrich our soul. They have the power to open our hearts and minds to ways of thinking and living which can promote communication, tolerance and appreciation of diverse cultures and ideas within any given society, both locally and globally.

The arts also have a significant positive economic impact that shouldn't be underestimated. Many for profit businesses and government agencies benefit directly and indirectly from patrons of the arts and arts organizations.

Creativity is a basic human impulse, possibly even divine. It is an essential element of what makes us human and can be extremely rewarding on many levels to all those that participate, either as creator or observer. That experience can be joyous as well as profound.

Studying Art and Culture in books, on the internet, via slides and other images and resources is an excellent way to learn and gather information. Although, none of those methods is a substitute for seeing it live. Getting out in the world and seeing it first hand is the best way to fully experience art or any other interest.

The strength and quality of the arts in any society may be a reflection of the strength and quality of all aspects of that society and can have a pervasive and powerful effect on those individuals who encounter it. The arts' ability to effect how we treat one another may someday save our civilization.
