SOMERVILLE, NJ – Residents are invited to join the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission for “Let’s Talk Arts, Cultural Heritage and History,” a virtual open house-style, drop-in meeting and collaborative listening session to be held via Zoom on Aug. 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. There will be four break-out rooms – including one for Spanish-language participants – where residents will be encouraged to share how they currently engage with the county’s arts, cultural heritage, and history programs as well as how they would like to engage in these programs in the future. To register, visit https://scculture.info/LetsTalk.

“Somerset County is committed to its cultural heritage and sharing it with every resident who is interested. Forums like this help us to understand the ways people prefer to learn, participate, and contribute,” said Somerset County Commissioner Melonie Marano, Cultural & Heritage liaison. “This is a great opportunity for people to share ideas and give their creative input about what they envision for the future of the county’s arts, cultural heritage, and history programs."

As the Cultural & Heritage team begins to develop its long-range plan for 2022 and beyond, they hope to gain greater insight from the public about how to improve public engagement and better serve county residents and visitors through new and existing initiatives and programs.
