Sneak Peek: David Rodriguez Podcast

David Rodriguez: The soul of NJPAC is based on the people we serve. When we went to content, we looked at who is our community. Our community is 80 percent African-American and Latino in the city of Newark. We have a community that is supportive of the programs that we do and, in response, we're about to build a 60,000-square-foot center for arts education across the street from the center itself, as well as hubs in various sections of the community where they can see regular programming. We will do 200 different community engagement events in the city of Newark in a typical year, allowing for COVID.
