NEWTON CULTURAL ALLIANCE

The Newton Cultural Alliance (NCA) is a consortium of nonprofit arts & culture organizations dedicated to promoting, enhancing, and sustaining art & culture in Newton, MA. NCA was incorporated in 2009 by a group of arts & culture nonprofits who sought to actively promote concepts and ideas of arts & culture in the City of Newton. NCA was designed as a resource for the entire community, to inspire, educate, and bring together audiences and artists in celebration of arts and culture. To this end, ... NCA assists and supports nonprofit organizations who are dedicated to promoting, enhancing, and sustaining arts & culture within the city. At its best, NCA, with its more than 30 member organizations, is the voice of arts & culture in Newton and a catalyst for civic engagement and partnerships, bringing culture and community together.
