“Coshocton art featured at ARTSNCT … As soon as [ARTSNCT] announced that Coshocton County Artist Cooperative was to be ARTSNCT’s featured [group] for February, the buzz started... At the height of the artists’ reception, [the arts center was] filled to capacity with art lovers from all over the state.”

“ARTSNCT recently donated stage lighting to the Newcomerstown High School Thespians and Newcomerstown Middle School.” 

“Also, ARTSNCT will provide two weekly arts programs at Newcomerstown West Elementary School in conjunction with the school’s after-school L.E.A.D. program...”

“Newcomerstown students share creativity amid coronavirus pandemic... It’s an explosion of color and creativity... over 100 pieces of art are available for viewing.” 

“This collection of work by some of Newcomerstown’s most gifted youth was anxiously awaited and was opened to the public with huge success.”

“ARTSNCT has accomplished much in addition to the yearly Pizza Box Art Contest and Exhibit, making its mark in a big way in the Newcomerstown area.” 

“...ARTSNCT has taught art and theatre classes at Newcomerstown’s West Elementary School in conjunction with the school’s L.E.A.D. program.” 

“In conjunction with the Newcomerstown School System, Wise directed and presented two spring musicals for Newcomerstown High School.” 

“ARTSNCT has presented programs for other community events and organizations including the West Chester Senior Center in Tippecanoe, two groups of Kiwanis – New Philadelphia and Coshocton, and the Arty Party in New Philadelphia.”

“ARTSNCT focuses on creativity and fun.” 

“Michael Wise was still living in Washington, D.C. when he started laying the groundwork for what would become ARTSNCT, an organization focused on providing visual art and performing art experiences to the Newcomerstown community where he was born and raised.” 

“ARTSNCT is involved in the community in many ways. They organize and coordinate talent shows and entertainment for Newcomerstown’s Cy Young Days Festival in June, and the village’s Gateway to Fall Festival in August.” 

“They see what we’re doing. Results speak louder than words. It’s how we do things. It’s the results and the quality. I keep telling everyone that that good enough is not good enough. I hear that phrase too much. It can always be better, Wise said.”
