Zimmerli’s Bilingual Efforts Extend Beyond the Gallery Walls and Into the New Brunswick Community
August 5, 2025
Bolstered by a $560,000 grant, the Rutgers art museum launched a multitiered project in the fall of 2024
Over the past couple of years, administrators and staff of the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have made it their mission to transform the facility into a bilingual space – and extend a welcoming hand to New Brunswick’s Hispanic and Latino community.
The Zimmerli’s bilingual efforts draw financial support from Art Bridges Foundation, a nonprofit organization that partners with museums and art groups throughout the United States. In fall 2023, Zimmerli officials announced the museum received a $560,000 grant from the foundation through its Access for All initiative, which aims to increase access to museums in the U.S. as well as foster engagement with local audiences.
