what is the New Cumberland Collective?We're neighbors & friends who are actively making our neck of the woods a better place to live.
Our 4 Priorities
We love experimenting with building the kind of community we want to live in. We're figuring it out as we go. But these are the things that guide us, and we invite you to join us.
1. Make it easy to meet other people
Meeting people is hard. We create spaces and reasons to connect—low-pressure, no agenda, just people getting to know each other.
2. Organize community-driven events & projects
We love helping members of the community bring their idea to life, whether it’s a new event or a way to improve the community we live in.
3. Support local & emerging artists
Creatives make communities better. We work to give local and emerging artists platforms, fair compensation, and visibility.
4. Create more community builders
(like you 👀)
We're not here to be gatekeepers. We want to help people develop the skills and confidence to lead their own projects and initiatives.
What We Do
Four annual festivals, plus ongoing programs that keep the community connected year-round.
