After a dreary winter, Newton Community Pride was pleased to bring more inviting  and art-filled spaces to the Newton Al Fresco Dining Program. Working with local artists, NCP commissioned artists to paint bistro tables, murals and jersey barriers to bring color and creativity to our village centers in the spring of 2021.

Thank you to Village Bank Logo our Presenting Sponsor and our other sponsors found on our Home Page.  Meet the artists and see where you can find their work.

A special thank you also for the partnership with the City of Newton Parks, Recreation & Culture Department, DPW and Planning & Economic Development.  More information from the City of Newton here.
