Situated in historic downtown Red Bank, NJ, the Count Basie Center for the Arts stands as a leading cultural hub in New Jersey, renowned for fostering impactful and inclusive artistic experiences. With a mission to inspire, educate, and entertain, the Center offers a wide range of cultural programming that celebrates and amplifies the diversity of its community.

This project focuses on expanding the Count Basie Center’s highly successful conservatory program, which provides arts education to students of all ages. By renovating and reconfiguring the layout of an existing structure, the project will create additional classrooms to accommodate a growing student body, ensuring that more individuals have access to transformative arts education.

The second floor of the building will also undergo a significant transformation, becoming a streamlined and efficient office space to support all departments of the organization. This redesign not only enhances operational functionality but also positions the Count Basie Center for continued growth and impact in the years to come. Through these improvements, the Center reaffirms its commitment to being a vibrant resource for arts education and community enrichment.
