The Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance
The Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) brings unity to the arts, cultural and business community of Washington Heights-Inwood from 155th Street to the northernmost point of Manhattan. Recognizing that artists and arts organizations are important to a community’s health, NoMAA provides training, promotes the work of artists and arts organizations, helps develop business and other partnerships, and connects the Upper Manhattan community to the cultural life of New York City.
A month-long arts festival in June showcases artists’ contributions to the cultural fabric of the community. Exhibits, performances, media presentations, music and theater performances, literary events, and children’s arts programs take place in the neighborhoods’ businesses, parks, churches, and other public spaces.
