The New Art Center is a nonprofit
community art center dedicated to developing imaginative thinking in children and
adults, involving people in creative arts activities, and heightening visual and
aesthetic literacy.
The Center educates over 1,400 students annually in classes and workshops, sustains
a faculty of 40 professional artists, and operates one of the few mid-sized nonprofit
exhibition spaces in New England.
At the New Art Center, we nurture children's creativity, encourage emerging artists;
develop teaching and performing opportunities; and engage the community with new
and important exhibitions. Our goals include increasing the understanding of the
intellectual and practical tasks of creating art through hands-on experience, and
expanding access to original works of art.
