The Newtown Commission was created by a town ordinance to stimulate, facilitate, coordinate and cooperate
with existing organizations, for the development of the arts in and around Newtown.
The Commission began its work in June of 2007 and meets monthly to serve these goals.
The Commission recently launched a website which will showcase the arts and artists in Newtown.
In the months to follow, Newtown residents and cultural organizations should expect a greater presence
of the Commission, as its preparatory work comes into fruition and its endeavors to celebrate the value
of art in society, capitalize on the positive economic impact of the arts, and promote the work of the
many gifted artists who reside in Newtown, begins to blossom.
The current Newtown Cultural Arts Commission are listed on the town website
(you can use the link above). Anyone interested in joining the Auxiliary
Board should contact the First Selectman's Office in Town Hall at 203.270.4201.
