Rahway is in the middle of a Renaissance. It’s the place to watch, says
the New York Times. Mayor James J. Kennedy, envisions a lively cultural
community radiating from its core cultural organizations located in the heart
of the Rahway Arts District. The Union
County Performing Arts
Center, the Arts Guild of Rahway, the Craftsman Club are all housed in architecturally historic
sites and the future site of the Rahway
Cultural Park (name to be decided) will
contribute in making Rahway one of
New Jersey’s newest destination sites ~
a great place to visit and a great place to
live.
The Rahway Arts District is located in the Northern sector of the Rahway
Business District, bordered by the NJ Transit rails and the two branches
of the Rahway River. The area is rife with burgeoning life including
cultural hubs both established and new. Our galleries, artist studios,
along with commercial, residential and retail redevelopment will host and
support exciting events, popular and contemporary cultural programs and
educational activities. The Rahway Arts District is an exciting place to be
enjoyed by citizens of Rahway and visitors alike.
