MNMP looking for partners and investors into its educational and artistic programming.

The Manhattan New Music Project makes the arts accessible to everyone through educational programming, a creators platform and public arts events. MNMP is looking for investors who share our vision that all communities need accessible high quality arts education and performances. Investors can provide broad or targeted support to our activities, by adopting individual programs or partners of MNMP.
