Perkins Center for the Arts was incorporated in 1977 in Moorestown and has grown from a local community arts center into a regional arts center. It was originally established in the Perkins family manor, a historic 1910 Tudor home and carriage house, and later expanded in 2002 to a second facility in a historic 1910 modern-industrial style building in Collingswood. The organization states that it enriches lives, inspires life-long learning, and cultivates intercultural experiences through the arts. Perkins Center for the Arts is recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a Major Presenting Organization for free and fee-based arts programs that promote participation, understanding, and communication among diverse audiences. The Center describes itself as a regional, community cultural asset that offers interdisciplinary and intercultural experiences through the arts and commits to championing policies and practices of cultural equity that empower a just, inclusive, and equitable society. It acknowledges that it sits on the native land of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Native American Tribe and states that it offers itself as a partner and advocate to help further educate current residents, elevate the contributions of the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape Tribal Nation, and honor their history, present, and future. Perkins Center for the Arts notes that its programs include community enrichment projects throughout South Jersey.
