Our goal is to provide opportunity for all people to attend cultural events close to home. We organize visual art exhibits at eight corporate sites, host two international invitational competitions annually. One is a poetry and visual art competition; the other focuses on photography. NWCC also hosts poetry workshops monthly in our office and publishes a quarterly newsletter that includes a calendar of events in the Northwest corridor. We also provide a student educational and enrichment program for kids called "Kids Meet Art" (TM) in area schools CATEGORY: Charitable Organizations--Arts and Entertainment |
