NAC is the new non-profit funding arm of the Northborough Cultural Council (NCC), which is dedicated to developing and funding public art projects around town. The goal is to complement the town's Master Implementation Plan by beautifying key pathways identified by the Plan. Past events sponsored by the NCC include CultureFest of Music & Arts, Go Outdoors painted doors exhibit at Ellsworth-McAfee Park, and the Apple Blossom mural on the Town Common.

Upcoming NCC events include Open Studios, Flowerful Chairs and Porchfest.

Additionally, proceeds generated from the art exhibit and auction event will support the development of future art programs and events. NAC strives to enhance Northborough's appeal as a destination by introducing captivating art installations and attractions.
