Programs for towns and recreation departments

Concerts in the park, downtown holiday performances, summer camps and recreation-department classes — run by a local arts school that already knows your calendar.

Performances for town events

We supply the right size group for the occasion: a brass quintet for a tree lighting, a jazz combo for a street fair, a student orchestra for a summer concert series, a woodwind trio for a ribbon cutting. Our ensembles include adult, teen and youth groups, so the program can match the audience.

Classes and camps with your recreation department

NJWA can run arts programming inside your existing recreation catalog — group music classes, arts and crafts, early childhood music, and multi-week summer sessions. You handle promotion and registration through the channels residents already use; we provide the teaching artists, curriculum and instruments.

  • Early childhood music for toddlers and preschoolers
  • Beginner group instrument classes for children and adults
  • Arts and crafts and drawing workshops
  • Week-long summer arts sessions modeled on our Summer Arts Workshop

Civic and cultural collaborations

We also work with cultural commissions, arts councils and business districts on longer-term projects: a resident ensemble for town events, a youth scholarship program, or a shared grant application to the county or the state arts council.
