Our 2025 Thomas H. Kean Arts Advocacy Award Recipients:

The Thomas H. Kean Arts Advocacy Award was instituted by the George Street Playhouse Board of Trustees and management in 1989 as an annual tribute to an individual, corporation, or foundation whose dedication to the arts enhances the cultural life of our state. The inaugural award was presented to the Honorable Thomas H. Kean, who as governor and private citizen has had, and continues to have, a lasting and profound impact in making New Jersey a national model of excellence in the arts.
