Mission: To educate, inspire, and celebrate the visual and performing arts within the community of Nazareth.

The Nazareth Center for the Arts (NCA), run by the Nazareth Cultural and Arts Commission of the Borough of Nazareth, opened its doors to the public in December of 2009 and offered nearly 100 events and meetings in its first year of operation. Music performances spanning a wide range of genres, art receptions, poetry readings, storytelling, and open mic nights were among the man activities presented. In 2012, the Center will continue to conduct events and offer art classes as well as photography, music, voice, and acting classes in the works for all ages and skill levels (more info contact [email protected]).

The Center is ADA compliant and unique in that it features a combination Performance Hall and Art Gallery.

Performance seating is limited to 60 creating an intimate, listening venue, ideal for music lovers who appreciate fine musicianship and aren’t interested in competing with the noise typically found at a bar or cafe. The space encourages interaction between the audience and musicians resulting in a memorable experience as songs and the songwriting process are discussed.

We pride ourselves on providing a diversity of styles by talented musical performers in a family friendly environment. Expect to see soloists, duos, ensembles, and bands and hear modern and traditional forms of blues, classical, country, electronic, jazz, folk, new age, rock, and world in both acoustic and electric shows.
