NewTown is a dedicated consortium of accomplished professional
artists and artist/administrators - musicians, dancers, film
and video makers and visual artists - all of whom donate their
time to ensure new creative opportunities for their colleagues
throughout Southern California. It is a leader in the resurgence
of artist-run, not-for-profit organizations currently emerging
in Southern California and leading the way to an art world
outside institutional confines, reinstating art in the pantheon
of public discourse, private pleasure and plain old fun.
Over the last four years, NewTown has brought cutting-edge media,
music, dance, performance and visual arts to over 100,000 people
in wildly diverse sites, including the streets, alleyways, plazas,
storefronts, parking lots, a hiking trail in the San Gabriel
Mountains, a swimming pool and even a church basement.
Its efforts have been acknowledged with grants
from The Pasadena Art Alliance, California Arts Council, Los
Angeles County Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts,
City of Pasadena Cultural Affairs Division, the Pasadena Arts
Commission, and many private donors.
