New Providence Public Art (NPPA) Committee
NPPA was formed in November 2015. It is dedicated to bringing public works of art to New Providence in order to enhance our environment aesthetically. NPPA receives borough support from the Department of Public Works for installations, but receives no funding from the borough for acquisitions or operations. It raises money through private donations and grants and enjoys non-profit status thanks to its partnership with the Downtown Improvement District.
