RAISE THE ARTS is an evening fundraiser dedicated to supporting Music Village’s mission of providing need-based scholarships to New Jersey students pursuing the arts, including music, dance, literary, and visual disciplines. Additionally, it helps fund our community-focused programming, such as The Love+Unity Fest, which promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion through the arts.
