In 2017, The Art of Change team led the way on fundraising and marketing efforts for the New Art Center's largest fundraiser of the year: Jam @ 40: A Jazz Brunch Celebrating the Past, Investing in the Future. We defined the donor cultivation plan, selected and oversaw the online bidding system, created the artistic vision, messaging and branding, orchestrated the marketing campaign, and secured and managed the media sponsor.

This initiative reinforced the importance of their mission, classes and events among art patrons and the community that they serve.

The New Art Center in Newton, Massachusetts is one of New England's most vital community art education spaces, which offers everyone, at all levels of ability, exceptional opportunities to make, exhibit, view, and talk about art.
