A Jewish core. A new center. The New Center for Arts and Culture is a dynamic new arena for exploring our cultural diversities and commonalities through arts and ideas. By highlighting the richness of Jewish culture within the context of Boston's tradition for learning and innovation, we are building a genuinely one-of-a-kind institution. As a diverse and intellectually dynamic city, Boston offers continual opportunities for new encounters with art, ideas and cultures. We foster and promote these encounters. This extraordinary intersection reflects our determination to push boundaries, forge new connections, and link Jewish experiences to broader communities, in Boston and beyond. A Stunning Landmark Designed by world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, the New Center will be a stunning landmark on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, across from the iconic arch of Rowe's Wharf. When completed in 2012, its presence will contribute to the rejuvenation of downtown Boston and to the reclamation of its magnificent waterfront for cultural and public use. The New Center will honor our remarkably diverse city, where young people and adults from many nations speak countless languages and dialogues, affording future generations' experiences that render them more tolerant, more appreciative and more engaged with the world around them.
