Arts Alliance
The Northwind Arts Alliance (NAA) is a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer organization dedicated to promoting the arts in the region by sponsoring educational programs, lectures, readings and workshops, and by providing venues for displaying the work of regional artists, both visual and literary. The Alliance’s long term vision is now being met by our new support of a broader spectrum of ventures in a variety of arts; including Kaleidoscope, an art summer camp for children; Children’s Festival of Art; and Arts for Elders, a program serving the area’s retirement homes.
Purpose - Northwind Arts Alliance connects the arts and community. Our mission is to cultivate, promote and encourage the arts; to showcase and serve artists; and to foster arts education and appreciation for the greater community. Northwind sponsors arts activities for ages 8 through 99.
Donations to Northwind Arts Alliance are an important source of support for our programs and are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
