On April 28th, 2024 at 1pm, Frontline Arts is celebrating our 50th anniversary at Mexicali Brews. Together we will gather, celebrate this anniversary and raise funds for our growing and nationally-recognized socially engaged arts programming that serves over 6,000 individuals a year; from Frontline Paper, to the Scrubs Paper Project to the Migration Project, plus educational classes in print & papermaking for adults and youth, studio services, exhibitions and so much more.
Frontline Arts is celebrating a huge milestone: our 50th anniversary. We will be recognizing and honoring the families of the founders of the Printmaking Council of New Jersey, without which our organization wouldn't be here today. Their passion for printmaking and papermaking in 1974 is our origin story. We will also be honoring David Keefe, co-founder of Frontline Arts and former Board President, who led our revolution into this current era of Frontline Arts from the Printmaking Center of New Jersey.
The benefit will be held inside the fun and funky restaurant Mexicali Brews. We will enjoy Mexican-inspired passed Hors D’oeuvres and a gourmet reception dinner, plus a cash bar for beer, wine, and cocktails. Each person will receive a complimentary welcome cocktail or mocktail. There will be a silent auction of a wide variety of items up for bid to benefit Frontline Arts’ programming, and other fun activities!
