Walt Whitman Arts Center’s mission is to use world class arts programs
to contribute to the revitalization of Camden.

Our programs range from innovative mainstage theater, music and dance presentations to neighborhood-based public arts projects and classes in diverse mediums serving pre-schoolers through senior-citizens

Anchoring this work for the next generation is a comprehensive arts education program that provides multi-cultural, multi-ethnic live assemblies, in-school hands-on workshops, after-school training and free summer children’s theater

Last year, WWAC programs serviced nearly 32,000 people from across Camden, southern New Jersey and beyond

Every non-profit depends on volunteer assistance to get things done.

The Walt Whitman Arts Center uses volunteers to build projects, distribute marketing materials, keep an eye on children during our larger children's functions, maintain our records by entering data, et cetera.

We're looking for specific volunteers, however, to help us develop a Key Volunteer Circle.

As a Key Volunteer, you will give us access to people in your community. The WWAC will call on Key Volunteers to contact others in the community who may want to know what's happening. It's putting Word-of-Mouth to its best use.

So, if you want to volunteer to accept perhaps marketing materials or simple messages for distribution to schools, stores, agencies, transportation centers and the like in your area, please let us know.

We could really use your help.

September 18, 2008 "Live! at the Walt" is an ongoing festival of sound and presentation on alternating Thursdays in which we will showcase local talent. On our stage tonight and every night will be the WWAC 'House Band' (clever name, huh?) playing cool Caribbean-style and Free-bob jazz. Our musicians make their wages by what comes through the door, so there is a $10 cover charge, unless you bring something for the Food Bank, which will get you in for $5.00 instead. If you are a musician, singer, poet, dancer, comedian, juggler, clown or whatever, and you would like to show our audience your stuff, give us a call and we'll get you on our bill.
