Help Us Build a Permanent Montrose Home for WCA

Help Us Secure/Build a Permanent Classroom Space in Montrose

For 15 years, Montrose has been at the heart of Weehawken Creative Arts. It’s now where the majority of our programming happens—where over 400 dance and aerial students perform, where community members of all ages come to learn, grow, and create.

But despite our deep roots, Weehawken has never had a permanent home in Montrose. We’ve leased four different classroom spaces since we arrived, and due to upcoming changes in the facilities we currently use, we must secure a new long-term space by fall 2026 to house at least 50% of our programming.

And now—after years of searching—we finally have promising opportunities on the horizon.

Your support today can help turn those opportunities into a reality.

Why This Space Matters

A permanent Montrose classroom facility will allow us to:

• Provide stable, uninterrupted arts education for youth and adults

• Expand high-demand programs in dance, aerial, and visual arts

• Create a safe, purpose-built home designed for arts instruction

• Reduce long-term rental costs and invest sustainably in our future

What We Need

This fund will help us:

• Secure a long-term lease or purchase agreement

• Complete the initial build-out to make the space safe and functional

• Purchase essential flooring, mirrors, equipment, storage, and safety improvements for a new space

• Activate the space quickly so students can be learning inside it by fall 2026

Be Part of the Next Big Chapter

For nearly two decades, Montrose families have trusted Weehawken to provide high-quality arts education. With your help, we can ensure those opportunities continue—and that they grow—for generations to come.

If you would like to talk directly about this project, tour potential spaces, or explore naming opportunities, please reach out. We would be honored to share our vision with you.  Email Ashley:  ashley@weehawkenarts.org to connect on this need.

Together, we can start to build a permanent Weehawken Montrose home for creativity, movement, and community.
