West Newton's home for arts and culture.
35 Webster Street, Newton, MA 02465
Originally the home of 19th-century abolitionist and educator Nathaniel T. Allen, the Newton Cultural Alliance opened The Allen Center in 2021 and hosts a variety of artistic and cultural events throughout the year.
Many thanks to the wonderful community members who have already contributed towards purchasing the 9' Steinway concert grand piano on our stage — on loan from M. Steinert & Sons!
