History

How did the Newark Arts Alliance get started?

The time: January 1993
The place: Newark, Delaware
The people: A small group of folks who love the arts
The questions: What would happen if you gathered up a bunch of the creativity in Newark and put it to work? Could you make the arts a real part of the community? That's how it all began. By February, the Newark Arts Alliance had a name and, like any self-respecting organization, a mission statement. . .

The Newark Arts Alliance is a locally supported cultural non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide the citizens of greater Newark with the opportunity to explore and display their creativity, as well as participate in cultural events that build community. We provide the means to celebrate life through all forms of artistic diversity.
