The Garden State Arts Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was established in 1984. The Foundation provides free programs at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey.

We endeavor to maintain a classical / cultural / popular performance presence at the Arts Center, and also annually underwrite traditional musical programs free-of-charge and open to all residents of New Jersey and the surrounding area.

New Ticket Policy

Please be advised that we are no longer allowing entry to our events without a ticket.

Everyone is now required to have a hard copy or e-ticket (printed or on mobile device) in order to enter the PNC Bank Arts Center.
