Women@NJPAC

A sisterhood for good.

Women@NJPAC are change makers, rabble-rousers, artists, moms, bosses—women who give back in a hundred different ways. If you’re passionate about the performing arts and want to make an impact, Women@NJPAC is the place for you.

We built this house.
Now, we rock it.

We’ve been making moves for 30 years—before NJPAC even opened its doors. The Women’s Association was born in 1994, when our nine founders advocated for women to have a seat at the table as NJPAC fundraisers and decision-makers. Now known as Women@NJPAC, our powerhouse board and 2,000+ members have generated $58M+ to bolster the performing arts and improve our community.
