Audible, the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, presents the Newark Artist Collaboration, offering ongoing opportunities to Newark-based artists and encouraging local investment in our creative community. The Newark Artist Collaboration features large-scale installations and public artworks at Audible’s newly renovated 1 Washington Park headquarters and in the surrounding downtown neighborhood.
The latest in Audible's efforts to aid in pandemic recovery, the Newark Artist Collaboration joins Newark Working Kitchens, which launched in April 2020 and has helped keep open thirty local restaurants while delivering more than one million meals to at-risk Newarkers.
