We are The Novelty Collective (NoCo), a Christian nonprofit organization on a mission to redeem the arts & cultivate creativity in community. Our network, our space, & our programs function to connect people to each other, to new opportunities, & to conversations about art & faith.

Our organization was formed not only to serve active musicians & makers, but also to give everyone a chance to express themselves through the arts by lowering the bar of entry & removing common barriers. We make art accessible & affordable, illuminate the intrinsic value of art, & empower the artist to create by providing free studio space, art supplies, enrichment programs, & community events. But like most things in this world, nothing good comes without cost. That’s why we need your help.

You can help us build a better, brighter future for the precious community we serve by partnering with us when you give. Your financial support allows us to continue the important work we do, making space for people to create & sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with middle school & high school students all year round. Let’s make an impact that will last for generations—together!

⭐️ BONUS: When you commit to a monthly donation (starting at $10), you will be subscribed to an exclusive mailing list called NoCo Insiders! Each month, we send out stories about artists from the collective who are impacted by your giving! Insiders frequently features personal interviews, dynamic photos, & even video content. It's our way of thanking monthly donors for their incredible generosity. We hope you will consider partnering with us!
