The somers Point Arts Commission
Who Are We?

Picture
The Somers Point Arts Commission was formed by the City of Somers Point in 2013 by Ordinance #13-2006, Resolution #99-2013. Its mission is to provide, promote and cultivate the Arts in Somers Point through support and coordination of community services and resources.  Additional functions, purposes and goals exist to market and promote the City's cultural and performing arts.

The Arts Commission consists of 9 members who are appointed by City Council by resolution at the January reorganization meeting each year or at any subsequent regular meeting. Meetings are held the 4th Monday of the month (except in Dec.) at City Hall at 6PM. The public is invited and will have an opportunity to comment. Minutes are taken at each meeting and are on file at the City Clerk’s Office. They are available to the public upon request.
