THE CENTER

Through the generous donation of Tom Scannapieco and Scannapieco Development Corp. New Hope Arts has a new home. Taking on the responsibility of a building has been a challenging and exciting experience. This past year has been dominated by meetings with architects, designers, community groups, city fathers and a variety of agencies and organizations. The reception from the public has been overwhelmingly positive and the group is now embarking on a serious year of fundraising to create the Center that all envision.

Comments & Reviews

American Style Magazine 2005
New Hope Arts and its Sculpture New Hope exhibition was commended for its role in the revitalization of the New Hope’s arts reputation and the river town was named the “Top Small Town Arts Destination in America.

Edward Rendell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
On behalf of all residents in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I would like to extend my congratulations to you and the entire Borough of New Hope upon being named “The Top Small Town Arts Destination in America” by American Style magazine. Exciting events such as the Annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit... (and) a vibrant and constantly expanding arts community serve as an endorsement of the arts and is an excellent ambassador for the cultural vibrancy that can be found in the greater Philadelphia region.

Nancy Barness, Board member, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts
"New Hope Arts sounds like an organization that could really change and revive New Hope. I was truly so impressed with all you have done.“

New Hope Mayor Larry Keller
"This wonderful concept is one more way of recognizing our special river town of New Hope and its artistic heritage, both past and present.”

Victoria Donohoe, art critic, Philadelphia Inquirer
"A twin bill that suggests a kind of symphony of artworks going on. And it’s also now the visual symbol of New Hope. It’s significant to find a new formed art organization able to mount a sculpture show of this size and complexity, one that manages so accurately to reflect the interests and pulse of contemporary society. New Hope Arts Inc. is a name to remember for this commendable annual show and future art events."
