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 Allen Center today is a dynamic center for arts and culture, thanks to the vision and restoration efforts of the Newton Cultural Alliance.
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!
