Collective Arts is launching in New Jersey. Join us at Blue Monkey on April 1st starting at 5PM for our New Jersey premier! We will have an artist pop up with New Jersey Artist Sean Lugo. Collective Arts Brewing is a grassroots craft brewery that aims to fuse the creativity of craft beer with the inspired talents of emerging artists and musicians. Collective Arts Brewing was founded on two beliefs: The first that creativity fosters creativity. And the second, that creativity yields delicious pints. We feature limited-edition works of art on our beer cans and labels, and we work to make sure the liquid on the inside is as diverse and creative as the artists we profile.

There's always a chance to see something magical  when strolling around the Borough and our community is chock-full of residents with creative ideas. "Villians and visitors will walk away with a smile on their face when they catch a glimpse of the artistic tree face and mouse house on a beautiful old tree on Linden Avenue. Stop by and take a peek!
