History of the Newark Arts Parade.
The Barat Foundation has created a hub of community collaboration in the heart of downtown Newark, featuring arts in education programs for underserved youth. The beautiful 13,000 sq. ft. facility, provided through a generous gift by Arthur Stern of Cogswell Realty, is dedicated to providing positive, life-changing experiences ensuring resiliency, and encouraging personal, artistic, and academic growth.
The Barat Foundation (entrance on Bank Street) at 765 Broad Street is transformed into a perpetual workshop where hundreds of students, arts organizations, volunteers, and sponsors work on the giant Animodules, preparing for the annual festivities. Terry Brewin, teacher at Newark Vocational High School and the creator of the Animodules, began the tradition with The Barat Foundation in 2008. These giant Animodules have become a popular mainstay in exhibits around Downtown Newark and are on permanent display at the Foundation.
