Busking Street Performance
The Busking Street Performance Program encourages community engagement and also provides exposure to arts and culture. The program, developed and implemented by the NNJCF’s ArtsBergen, is sponsored by The Sack Business Alliance. The program also reinforces the Sack Business Alliance and the City of Hackensack’s commitment to public art and the value the arts bring to the downtown’s redevelopment. Additional project goals include:
- Drawing visitor and resident traffic to the downtown through the presentation of local arts;
- Offering opportunities to support the local arts community;
- Providing an occasion to showcase the wide talent present in Hackensack and Bergen County;
- Strengthening the cultural identity and vibrancy of the downtown through unique arts programming; and
- Continuing to support public arts to transform Hackensack into an arts and cultural destination.
The NNJCF is a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Hackensack. The Foundation’s work focuses primarily on the arts, civic engagement, education, the environment, philanthropy, and public health.
