Working independently and in conjunction with local arts and civic groups such as the Strollers Community Theatre, Maplewood Arts Council, Rent Party Pantry, and the Springfield Avenue Partnership among others, DAC strives to establish Maplewood as a cultural outpost and arts destination. We also operate the Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts and the multi-purpose facility, The Woodland.  To learn more, please visit the official township website or follow the Division of Arts & Culture on Facebook.
