Dear Community Art Supporter,

On behalf of Friends of Metuchen Arts, we are excited to announce our upcoming fundraiser, Spring Fling Masquerade, a grand gala, to be held on March 8, 2025, at the elegant Metuchen Golf and Country Club. This event will bring together artists, patrons of the arts and community members to celebrate creativity and raise funds to support our ongoing initiatives.

Friends of Metuchen Arts (FOMA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting art initiatives within the borough of Metuchen. FOMA’s mission is to support the growth of art in all its forms, including visual arts, music, theatre, film and dance.

Our 2024 accomplishments: We presented or supported more than 30 Metuchen art events, most at no cost to the public. The list includes 8 jazz concerts and a county-wide jazz festival, classical chamber music performances, a capella concert, a porch festival, a storytelling program, various visual art gallery events, several community art events for children and 10 drawing nights.

We fund independent and emerging artists: We are most proud to have created our first grant program, awarding $5,500 to local creative artists, enabling performances, classes and exhibits in our community through the end of 2024 and into 2025. We will continue our grant program with two additional funding cycles in 2025.

We have big plans for 2025: Our 2025 plans include support for community theatre, dance, film, a return of the popular Porchfest event and lots more!

You can trust us: We are careful stewards of your donations, vetting our recipients and providing only high-quality results. When you donate to us, you donate to many artists and projects, not just one.

We promote community partnerships and want to thank and recognize the leadership of Westerhoff School of Music & Art, Metuchen Arts Council, Metuchen Public Library, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and First Presbyterian Church of Metuchen for working with us.

We hope you will partner with us as a gala sponsor to ensure that we meet our fundraising goals and continue to enrich our community through the arts.
