About the Northport ArtWalk

Northport Village is chock full of artists, both established and emerging. What better way to showcase those artists than displaying their art in the eclectic venues available on our very own Main Street? This is the question posed to the Northport Chamber of Commerce, Business Development Committee and Northport Arts Coalition. Their answer, a very enthusiastic “lets do it”. With the support of these groups, the local merchants and media, this spring…an ArtWalk shall bloom!

The Northport Arts Coalition (NAC) is a 501 (c) (3), all volunteer organization. The NAC was established in 1998 with 10 members. . With over 450 members NAC was recognized in 2006 Newsday article as one of the liveliest arts organizations on Long Island.
