MISSION
The mission of the Hudson County Community College Department of Cultural Affairs is to provide supplementary programs to stimulate awareness of the arts and foster creativity.
We strive to complement the efforts of HCCC with cultural events, community programs, and educational initiatives. Our goal is to transcend the understanding of visual and performing arts by closing the distance between the experience of art and everyday life in the community we serve.
HISTORY
In 2015, the College’s President, in consultation with the Board of Trustees, established a Cultural Affairs Task Force comprising involved members of the community, as well as HCCC Trustees, Foundation Board Directors, educators and scholars.
The result is a full calendar of arts programs and events each semester, free of cost, and are held on the College’s Journal Square and North Hudson campuses. Please see below to view this season's offerings.
BENJAMIN J. DINEEN III AND DENNIS C. HULL GALLERY
At its October 2013 meeting, the Hudson County Community College Board of Trustees affirmed resolutions to accept a historic gift of more than 400 works of art from the personal collection of Benjamin J. Dineen III and Dennis C. Hull.
The Board also voted to name the gallery space in the College’s Gabert Library Building in honor of the couple.
