Discover Jersey Arts Launches Women’s History Month Campaign

This March, Discover Jersey Arts, a program of the ArtPride New Jersey Foundation, proudly launches its Women’s History Month seasonal campaign, amplifying the voices of women whose creativity shapes our communities, even when those voices haven’t always been centered.

This year’s campaign leans into a timely and powerful message: when young women look to the stories of those who lived, fought, and created before them, they gain more than inspiration; they gain direction. Across cultures, disciplines, and generations, women have led movements, challenged norms, and redefined what art can be. By celebrating their legacies, Discover Jersey Arts invites the next generation to see themselves in a long line of artists who made change through expression, and to know their voices belong in what comes next.

“This Women’s History Month, we are turning up the volume,” said Adam Perle, President & CEO of ArtPride New Jersey. “When young women see themselves reflected in the stories of groundbreaking performers, comedians, visual artists, and cultural leaders, they understand that their creativity carries power. The arts give voice to possibility, and New Jersey’s arts community continues to lead the way.”

The arts remain a powerful economic driver in New Jersey, generating $692.1 million in economic revenue annually, supporting nearly 13,000 jobs, and contributing $156.6 million in federal, state, and local tax revenue.

Beyond those numbers, the arts fuel confidence, identity, and connection to community. This is especially for young women seeking examples of resilience and innovation.
