Alfa Art Gallery is a non-profit organization dedicated to the discovery and support of emerging and well-established artists. A vital player amongst art organizations since 2008, the gallery has established itself as a part of New Brunswick's cultural hub and recently received an award from New Brunswick City Market for Outstanding Contribution to the Arts and Business Community.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director David Saint, George Street Playhouse has become a nationally recognized theatre, presenting an acclaimed mainstage season while providing an artistic home for established and emerging theatre artists. Founded in 1974, The Playhouse has been well represented by numerous productions both on and off-Broadway - recent productions include the Outer Critics' Circle Best Musical Award-winner The Toxic Avenger, the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Drama League nominated production of The Spitfire Grill and the Broadway hit and Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play Proof by David Auburn, which was developed at GSP during the 1999 Next Stage Series of new plays. George Street Playhouse programming is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and by its lead season sponsor Johnson & Johnson. The Star-Ledger is the 2012-13 print media sponsor of George Street Playhouse.
