Investments in the curation and development of the city’s art culture by Red Bank RiverCenter, cultural institutions, business owners and the local community has led to a diverse creative culture in Red Bank for the arts community to enjoy. Traditional and contemporary art galleries, including newer venues that boast a downtown, SoHo vibe like Clay Street's Detour Gallery, coupled with the city’s rich historical roots, award-winning theaters and performing arts venues, world-class shopping and specialty retailers, gourmet and casual dining, luxury boutique hotels and pristine landscapes exemplify the best of what Red Bank has to offer.
“With the planned expansion of both the visually striking state-of-the-art Two River Theater and historical Count Basie Theatre, the arts scene in Red Bank continues to flourish,” commented James Scavone, executive director for Red Bank RiverCenter. “Art galleries such as the Beacon Fine Arts Gallery, Chetkin Gallery, Art Alliance of Monmouth County, and Detour Gallery, which all call Red Bank home, have significantly contributed to transforming our downtown into a world-class destination for art and entertainment.”
