Mission Statement
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.
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.
Description
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.
