The Metuchen Arts Council is looking for input on events in which we should be involved for the 2026/2027 program years. As a Commission of the Borough of Metuchen our monthly meetings are open to the public. We are encouraging interested parties to attend one of those sessions and let us know your ideas.

Our meetings are the third Monday of each month, or the fourth Monday in the event of a Holiday, at the Metuchen Senior Center on Center Street at 7:30 pm. Please consult the Borough Calendar for specific dates.

2. Through Myrtle Woods, over the creek onto the park.
3. Sunset, an empty pitch, a ball.. beautiful new pitch at Myrtle Park.
4. A bridge, the truck eating bridge they call it, at rest.
