Dear NCA supporter,
"NCA is bringing together the dedicated and passionate people involved in community cultural programming. As the director of Suzuki School of Newton, I feel that being part of NCA is making a difference to our city as a whole. Newton is a vibrant community with a cultural richness that provides multiple opportunities for arts participation from the basic amateur to highly-skilled professionals. I appreciate all these creative, smart people who make arts and culture happen here. We employ administrative and artistic staff, increase local spending and create new revenue for businesses via our audiences. NCA's advocacy for arts and culture is key in building Newton's financial strength."
-Sachiko Isihara, NCA Board Member
