If Not for Tom -A Celebration of the Arts

The Newark Arts Council is honoring former Governor Thomas H. Kean at their annual fundraiser at Nico at NJPAC. Awareness of the Newark Arts Council\'s vital role in advancing and expanding the arts and cultural communities in Newark and the surrounding communities and his advocacy on behalf of the arts are the impetus behind this celebration. The Newark Arts Council is not alone in believing if it were not for Governor Kean’s advocacy and support many of the arts and cultural organizations in Newark would not exist.
