About the Barron Arts Center

Woodbridge is proud to have a building listed on the national Register of Historic Places. The Barron Library building, built in 1877, now serves as a center for the arts for residents of Woodbridge Township and Central New Jersey. The beautiful Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style building, with its stained-glass windows and clock tower, provides an intimate setting for a variety of activities. Musical performances in a variety of styles, a forum for poets, readers and audience alike known as Poets Wednesday, and art exhibitions by nationally renowned artist and craftsmen in addition to the work of notable New Jersey artist have graced the gallery of the Barron Ars Center. Recently, the building was renovated to meet ADA standards providing an environment where all can enjoy programs, including special exhibitions such as the annual model train display which serve to provide something of interest to all community members.

With the support of the Woodbridge Township Cultural Arts Commission and under the direction of Cynthia Kight, the Barron Arts Center offers programming to the public, free of charge.
