As part of Dr. Joe Bertolino’s week of inaugural events, Stockton hosted a Regional Arts & Culture Summit.

This event brought together artists, educators, and community leaders from throughout Southern New Jersey to engage in meaningful discussions and foster greater collaborations to enrich our region’s vibrant arts and culture landscape.

At the conclusion of the summit, attendees had the opportunity to take a free 60-minute shuttle tour to view some of Atlantic City’s fantastic mural arts projects.
