Lawrence Tamburri will describe the history and importance of the 50 years of arts education provided by the Newark School of the Arts.

Starting in 2018, the Newark School of the Arts (NSA) will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The School provides high-level training in the performing and visual arts. Since 1968, the school has offered instruction for everyone with an interest in the arts regardless of age, talent and financial resources. [By the way, Stella Lass, one of the school’s two founders, was a resident of Maplewood, as was Steve Shiman, the longest-tenured executive director.]

NSA is a family and community oriented school that has served 46,000 individuals since its inception, and provides education for 800 students each week. [For further information,
