MoCo Arts Corridor Partnership

The MoCo Arts Corridor Partnership is both a physical and cooperative initiative designed to promote the many art, cultural, and historic assets in Monmouth County, NJ. MoCo’s Mission is to make the Central Jersey Shore a cultural destination of choice. The MoCo (Monmouth County) Partnership includes government agencies, civic groups, artists, businesses, educational institutions, tourism and transportation organizations committed to building a more sustainable and resilient community through the creation of the MoCo Arts Corridor, and by leveraging the economic power the Arts create for the good of the entire community. In March 2013, The MoCo Arts Corridor Partnership was cited as a case study in a presentation to the United Nations by Bloomfield College’s Center for Creative Placemaking.

“During the process, a wonderful synergy has developed. The weekly Host Team meetings have united our Host Team, and forged new relationships between us all, as well as the businesses and community organizations that we represent. I applaud Gathering Ground for helping communities look at themselves through a process that embraces inclusivity, accountability and openness.”
