Individual Creative Membership
The Newton Cultural Alliance is Newton's key advocate for arts & culture in the city of Newton and we are proud to announce our inaugural Individual Creative Membership! Membership is open to individual creatives who live and/or work in Newton. An "individual creative" is defined broadly as a musician (classical, jazz, folk, other), a visual artist (painter, sculptor, photographer, other), a dancer (ballet, modern, jazz, other), an actor, a filmmaker, a writer (author, poet, playwright, other), and other creative artists. An NCA membership is your door to accessing an array of benefits, increasing your presence in the community, and making connections with other organizations, individuals, and local businesses that support arts and culture in Newton. Individual Creative Membership benefits include:
