Mission and History

To cultivate, support and promote the works of artists and arts organizations in Northern Manhattan.

The Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA) is a non-profit arts service organization launched in 2007 under the incubation of the Hispanic Federation and with the financial support of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone. Since 2007, NoMAA has been nurturing the works of artists in these communities as well as developing partnerships with business and other organizations to increase the visibility of this area of Manhattan. We strive to foster the diverse artistic expressions of artists and cultural organizations throughout Washington Heights and Inwood by increasing the visibility of their works. Our promotion of the arts enables the success of low-income artists from underserved communities, and stimulates economic development in the neighborhoods we serve.
