About the Division

Imagine choreographing your own dance, learning how to play the piano, lending your voice to classical song or honing your skills in drawing.

The Mason Gross Extension Division offers these artistic opportunities and more to the entire community, right here in Central Jersey. The Extension Division’s personalized programming allows artists of all ages and ability levels to interact and learn from some of New Jersey’s most distinguished teaching artists at the state’s premier arts conservatory.

Forget trekking all the way into Manhattan for a Suzuki violin lesson or a sculpture class: The Mason Gross Extension Division offers an innovative slate of high-quality arts programming to children and adults alike, in a convenient location. The Mason Gross Preparatory School nurtures the innate artistic abilities of children, while our adult programs encourage lifelong arts exploration. Courses of study are available for beginners, enthusiastic amateurs, and those with professional training. 

We invite you to join the vibrant cultural community flourishing here at the Mason Gross School of the Arts.
