TCAT Artist

TCAT supports and promotes all the creative endeavors of self-taught artists who find it difficult to independently acquire the resources they need to develop and display their talents to the public by providing:

  • A permanent gallery for the display and sales of TCAT art at our Studio 51 location.

  • Opportunities for mounting shows at museums, galleries and corporate headquarters.

  • Visibility for creative activity through media outlets and book publishing.

  • Provision of art supplies through budgeted funds and in-kind donations

  • Trips to museums, concerts, and other cultural events and to studios of area artists.

  • Open studio hours, Tuesday-Friday 12 - 4 PM.

  • Enhancement of community pride through outreach efforts

Fundraising

During our formative years at TASK, the artists recieved support through monetary and in -kind donations, and small supplies stiped from TASK. With the move to 51 North Stockton Street, there is an immediate need for funds to employ a part time manager, to rent, equip and maintain the facility, to expand services to artists, and to fund community outreach events.

TCAT is actively seeking goverment funds, corporate and foundation support, and individual contributions through solicitation, mailings, and event fundraising. All donations are tax-deductible. Information filed with NJ Attorney General concerning our charitable registration maybe obtained by calling (973) 504-6215.
