We love the Arts!
The arts are our passion and our creative outlet that is essential to us as artists and inherent in each and everyone of us. 
We believe that there is true enjoyment and enlightenment in being able to create something with our own hands and to feel that sense of accomplishment...to sing a song that makes others smile as we bubble up inside...to dance to the music that makes us move with abandonment on every beat and rhythm. 

Each of us has this ability to experience this passion through the arts as we tap into our creative side.

We at Mt Tabor ARTs Collaborative want to share with you this passion we have for the arts and
take you on a journey of discovery and wonderment as
we explore together and share our experiences as artists with each of you.

This is why we love the Arts and started this organization. 

So come join us and let us inspire the artist within you to bloom and blossom through our creative process.

One of our main goals as an arts organization is to mentor those that are interested in the fields of dance, theatre and art. Pairing professionals with up and coming arts students to show them the ropes. Our children's theatre productions mentored actors, as well as technical aspects of the performances. Local High School students performed onstage with professionals as well as learned about installations of lighting, and sound from professionals in their field. We look forward to bringing this amazing opportunity to Morris County.
