WHO

WE ARE

NewArts (registered trade name of Newmarket Community Music & Arts Centre) is a registered Canadian charity established in 2007. We offer innovative arts, educational programs, and video projects designed to broaden horizons, and empower children, youth, and the broader public. NewArts operates primarily in Toronto's Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs), partnering with local schools, and community organizations. We actively collaborate with the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy (TSNS), a City of Toronto initiative focused on building partnerships and investing in people, programs, and services within NIAs. Our goal is to strengthen the social, economic, and physical conditions within these communities, ultimately contributing to positive city-wide change.
