The Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation recognizes that when residents are engaged in the arts, their communities become vibrant beacons for economic development. Our Foundation has focused on engaging residents and tourists of the Central Jersey Shore with all forms of the arts, from school curriculums to creative arts community contests to public monuments, running the gamut of visual and performing endeavors.  We want to encourage all residents of the Central Jersey Shore to awaken their creativity, individuality, artistic, and technical abilities to embed interaction with the arts and culture in our community.
