The Millburn-Short Hills Arts Advisory Committee, a volunteer non-profit, has been in existence since 1998. It is an appointed group of township residents and local advisors who are committed to enhancing the arts in Millburn Township.

The committee’s contributions to the town can been seen in the sculptures on the front lawn of the library, yearly scholarships and mentoring of high school students, inventory and care of township art and artifacts, and recently the refurbishing and related film of the Millburn Library's prized Edward Duffner paintings. Committee members have also been judges for the Millburn Film Festival since 2013.
