Gloucester County is South Jersey's third-largest by number of municipalities, a patchwork of twenty-four townships, boroughs and the city of Woodbury spread across old glassmaking towns and college streets. Its art lives close to home, in Rowan University's galleries at Glassboro, in Pitman's lovingly restored 1920s theatre, and in the working studios tucked among the antique shops of Mullica Hill.

Cumberland County is the beating heart of South Jersey's art, and glass is the reason why. Millville's Glasstown Arts District draws visitors from around the world to WheatonArts and a cluster of galleries, studios and a restored theatre along High Street; Vineland and Bridgeton add historic theatres and downtown galleries; and out on the Bayshore, a tall ship keeps a maritime story alive.

Burlington is New Jersey's largest county by area and the largest in South Jersey by number of municipalities, forty in all, reaching from the Delaware River towns in the west to the edge of the Pine Barrens in the east. Its art is spread just as widely, from a regional powerhouse in Moorestown to free county galleries tucked inside a restored industrial village, a nineteenth-century arts hall in Burlington City, and community theatres and galleries in the old river and mill towns between.
