I’m Pamela Draper.
I’m fundraising for Newark Arts Alliance.
Since taking the job of executive director of the Newark Arts Alliance in July of 2023, I have been deeply grateful for the opportunity to lead this incredible community arts organization. I have spent my life thus far working at the intersection of community wellness and the arts, and these past 19 months have confirmed just how powerful that connection can be. From celebrating our 30th anniversary to expanding our community outreach efforts, it has been a joy to see our programs grow and evolve. I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited for what’s ahead! It fills me with hope to watch people come together, day after day, to share a piece of themselves, witness beauty and cultivate community.
✨In order to make the most of our matching opportunities, please donate between 9am and 10am on Friday, March 7. There are special $$ incentives for the top earners in that hour and I'd like YOUR DOLLARS TO GO FURTHER! ✨
LASTLY! If the NAA makes it to our goal of $18k, I will get an NAA-inspired tattoo😮 Let's do this!

The NAA offers classes for students of all ages and skill levels; holds events dedicated to the visual, literary, and performing arts; and sponsors a popular, full-day arts camp, Camp Imagine for two weeks each summer. Camp Imagine provides scholarships for many children to attend. We also offer free programs each month for musicians, writers, visual artists, dancers, and fiber artists.
To promote art in our community, the NAA sponsors artistic opportunities for children through our Art to Go projects brought to area community centers, low income housing projects, libraries and community events. These public art events are offered at no cost to the participant.
Membership is open to all, artists and supporters of the arts alike. The Newark Arts Alliance is supported through membership, class, and exhibition fees; art sales; space rentals; fundraising events; private donations; and grants. Additional support is received through business sponsorships and donations of goods. Our programs are also sponsored, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Division promotes Delaware arts events on www.DelawareScene.com.
