Welcome to the Newington-Cropsey Cultural Studies Center website. Today, practitioners and supporters of the arts are working to recover traditional knowledge and formal languages in all disciplines, using this perennial resource to confront the conditions of our own time and place. The result is an emerging body of art that is both beautiful and meaningful.

On this content-rich site you will find painters, sculptors, poets, composers and architects who share a common goal: reconnecting to history and craft. At the same time, they do not ignore the complexities of twenty-first-century life. They celebrate beauty in their representations of the landscape and the human figure, the civility of their buildings, the harmony of their music and the meter of their poetry. Individual sections of this website are edited by artists, educators and poets widely recognized in their respective fields. You will also find gallery listings, recommended reading and links to related organizations and institutions.
