Founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Samuel Pott, Nimbus has grown from a small group of dancers, producing low-budget performances in libraries and church basements to become the largest arts organization in Jersey City and one of the largest contemporary dance organizations in New Jersey. The Nimbus Arts Center at the Lively boasts a state of the art 150-seat black box theater, 4 dance studios, a grand lobby and art gallery, and office and backstage space. The impact of the Arts Center will be felt immediately on our organization, on Jersey City youth, and on the arts in Jersey City and across the entire State of New Jersey.

Nimbus opens the Nimbus Arts Center at the Lively and invites you to feast on a season of extraordinary performances, classes, and new ways to get involved with the arts. Help us make a place for Jersey City to build, create and dream together while we spotlight the remarkable spirit and talent of Jersey City Artists.
