New Rochelle Council on the Arts

The New Rochelle Council on the Arts (NRCA) was created by the New Rochelle City Council in 1975 to stimulate and encourage the study and presentation of the performing and fine arts. For more than four decades NRCA has worked to fulfill that mission by sponsoring art exhibitions, theatrical productions, dance recitals, film screenings, lectures, and concert series. In addition, NRCA has sponsored public art—like the popular NRNY Murals downtown—and created ArtsFest, while helping to build relationships between the arts, the business community and city government.
