Newark Arts Festival
At Newark Arts Festival 2025, we’re embracing JOY as a bold, creative force that sustains, uplifts, and sparks transformation. We invite artists to channel the power of joy to foster strength, harmony, and revolutionary change. Through art and ideas, we center JOY – the golden state of being that connects us to our humanity. Powered by Prudential Financial and in partnership with the City of Newark, this year’s arts festival will ignite the city with bold art, electrifying performances, dynamic talks, and immersive experiences—all celebrating the radical power of JOY.
