New Art Center + Juniper Rag
celebrate art-making in 2024!
Thank you to all the artists and collaborators for making “POPpin’ at the Factory,” the 2024 New Art Center Gala a huge success! The gala featured over 100 works of art across three auction platforms (Live, Silent, and Online). Inspired by "The Factory", a hip hang out for Andy Warhol’s cohort of artists, musicians and celebrities in NYC in the ‘60s, the venue Garage B was transformed.
Juniper Rag collaborated with New Art Center to bring the most vibrant and desirable art offerings to their auction. New Art’s annual gala is known as a not-to-be-missed event that celebrates art, artists, and the creative community. The gala raises crucial funds to support the New Art Center and their Cultural Access Program.

ABOUT NEW ART CENTER
The New Art Center is a community art education space which offers everyone, at all levels of ability, exceptional opportunities to make, exhibit, view, think about and talk about art. Since 1977, New Art has built community by lowering barriers to participation in the arts, and integrating the experience of art into everyday life.
The New Art Gala will raise funds for the New Art Center’s Cultural Access Project. This project is an umbrella for a variety of programs, all of which provide increased community outreach by creating more diverse and inclusive programming. Each of these programs serve a different population in the community. Many of the participants come from groups that are commonly marginalized, like youth and adults with disabilities. Other programs were created to serve a specific problem in the community, like our expanded Expressive Arts Therapy program, which is a response to the rise in mental health concerns, especially among teens. Learn more about the program here.
