The Arts at HCCC
The Office of Cultural Affairs celebrates diversity year-round with a variety of educational programs throughout each semester. Past programs include New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s presentation of classic Bollywood music, Indie Female Filmmakers Screenings, and interview with Tamika Palmer, mother of Breonna Taylor. Programs are hosted on the 6th floor of the Gabert Library, conveniently located across from the Journal Square transportation hub. All programs are free and open to the public.
The Foundation Art Collection is prominently displayed in public spaces throughout the entire Hudson campus. Over a thousand art works in a variety of mediums showcase both local and international artists. Each piece is curated with exhibition text to educate and hearten the walls and corridors of Hudson County Community College.
Literary Arts at HCCC are highly represented and encouraged among students and faculty alike. Our community publications include Crossroads (student), Perennial (faculty), alongside a wide variety of poetry and spoken word performances hosted regularly collegewide.
Hudson’s Performing Arts program thrives with the newest addition of HCCC’s Black Box Theater. The theater is state-of-the-art hosting classes and plays for Hudson’s emerging actors and playwrights. Each end-of-semester theater festival celebrates our student talent and showcases the department as a special place within the Hudson community.
Hudson County Community College’s Visual Arts program is one of the strongest in the New Jersey area with exhibiting artists leading a variety of educational initiatives. Each semester ends with a student exhibition in the Benjamin J. Dineen III and Dennis C. Hull Gallery. The exhibition highlights our student’s creative achievements in a variety of traditional art mediums as well as the digital arts.
