about Belmar Arts

The Belmar Arts Council

The Belmar Arts Council was founded in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for our residents, visitors and neighbors by helping the arts to flourish.  We offer diverse and exciting experiences in both the visual and performing arts for people of all ages, year-round; and promote public participation in and support for the arts.  We believe that the arts builds pride in our communities; connects people of diverse backgrounds; and occupies an essential role in the lifelong learning experience.  Belmar Arts serves as a resource to civic, municipal, business and other organizations throughout the region.  The Belmar Arts Council is primarily a volunteer organization supported by membership fees, grants, and donations.

​The Belmar Arts Council is housed in a building located at the corner of 7th Avenue and River Road near the railroad tracks in the Borough of Belmar, called The Boatworks.  The structure originally was used as a boat repair garage and is now called the Belmar Arts Center.
