New Art Center and our Board of Governors invites you to be whisked away for a midsummer night. Join us for a magical and whimsical gala to help support New Art’s dreams for a bright future as we emerge from the dream-like state we’ve all been in throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Children and adults across the country and right here in our communities are experiencing record levels of anxiety, depression and other forms of mental illness. We are committed to supporting the emotional well-being of our community by making art accessible to all. Our classes and free community events facilitate healing and expression with the ability to immerse in the visual arts and serve as a vehicle to support the mental health of students and participants. We are raising funds to support our emerging arts wellness and resilience program so even more community members can benefit from the therapeutic nature of art and what New Art Center has to offer.
