Reflect on the Past… Focus on the Future

“We are fortunate to start the Center in a building with an historic past and possibilities for an ambitious future. The building will be a true center for people to come together to enjoy and experience the arts. It is meant for everyone and restricted to no one… The ability of the Center to satisfy the cultural needs of our community depends of the response and support of that community.” ~ Co-Founders Beverly Bernson & Judy Chalfen, upon the inception of NAC

It was true kismet that our organization was founded in an old church. Thanks to the dedication of our founders and generations of loyal friends, volunteers, students, faculty, artists, curators, and neighbors this place has become a cherished sanctuary. For 40 years, our community has come together to experience, celebrate, and appreciate art.
