The Skylands Music & Arts Alliance, is a non-profit cultural institution with the goal of promoting a broad appreciation of the interplay between culture and artistic expression. It does this by acting as a forum for artists who best exemplify world traditions, reflect contemporary trends and explore artistic frontiers, and by nurturing the artistic and cultural life of its own community in and around the Skylands region of New Jersey.


Our Mission

The Skylands Music & Arts Alliance formed as a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation in 1998 and has been active primarily in the Skylands region of the state. Our mission is to create a vital regional community of the arts, one that reveres the traditional arts and music of our many cultures and simultaneously dares to explore the new forms and ideas from which our future culture will be made.

Toward that end, we nurture the work of emerging artists and celebrate the achievements of acknowledged masters. We educate and engage audiences as active participants in the artistic process. We work to build strong links between disparate elements inside and outside the "arts community" and to remove barriers, both perceived and real, which currently prevent many within our greater community from participating.

Through our diverse schedule of events we seek to generate support for multi-cultural expression and the promotion of active arts for all people.


The Alliance is headquartered in beautiful Blairstown, NJ in Warren County, one of the five New Jersey counties that make up the Skylands region.
