We're working together to ensure a brighter future for our neighborhood and City<\/h2>[vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner el_id=”about”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Waterfront South neighborhood in Camden, NJ hosts a thriving Arts and Culture Community. A network of unique cultural enterprises \u2013 including artists, theater, urban farming, dance, writing, and history \u2013 call this neighborhood home. Waterfront South has suffered from neglect and environmental injustice, yet the power of human creativity and collaboration nurtures beauty and hope. Visionary individuals and organizations have worked tirelessly to convert abandoned buildings into hives of activity \u2013 art shows, dance performances, theatrical productions, and much more.<\/p>\n

The Heart of Camden \u2013 an urban redevelopment agency that has provided quality housing to countless individuals and families since 1984 \u2013 has served as a springboard for many of the activities and organizations that followed it. Heart of Camden has evolved into the hub of a dynamic and energized community of art and culture.<\/p>\n

One of the more recent additions has been The Writers\u2019 House, which serves as a community space and provides educational programs to support literacy, creative writing, and self-expression through the writing of haiku and other literary forms. Inspiration for this beautiful space comes from Camden\u2019s own Nick Virgilio, the late renowned haiku poet.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the Camden Shipyard and Maritime Museum explores Camden\u2019s rich maritime history and her contribution to global shipbuilding and seafaring exploration. This proud history is all too often forgotten amidst the challenges of Camden\u2019s post-industrial economy.<\/p>\n

Just a block away sits Camden Fireworks, a once abandoned and re-claimed Camden City Fire House, now a beautiful facility offering gallery and studio space to artists of every stripe. Camden Fireworks provides a place for imagination, inspiration, and expression.<\/p>\n

The nearby Center for Environmental Transformation employs Camden youth to tend the flourishing urban gardens and farmers market. In the context of our neighborhood\u2019s numerous environmental injustices, CFET engages with neighbors in advocacy efforts and educates visitors of all ages about more environmentally responsible living.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Around the corner at the South Camden Theatre Company we see another example of life thriving in our city through the arts. At Father Michael\u2019s encouragement, a small theatre company moved their productions from the church basement to a beautiful 99-seat theatre across the street. This new home was lovingly built by The Heart of Camden and sponsored by countless supporters too numerous to mention. Ten years later, SCTC proves over and over that show-goers will, in fact, come to Camden for top-quality theatre productions and art of all kinds. Considered the anchor of the burgeoning arts community in Waterfront South, SCTC engages the neighborhood in both entertainment and educational efforts.<\/p>\n

The newest addition to the Waterfront South Arts and Culture Community is the Camden Sophisticated Sisters.\u00a0 CSS is a drill team, one of the best in the United States, specializing in various styles of dance including Drill, Step, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Modern and Jazz. But the structure, discipline, and fun of the drill team are just the beginning of CSS. More than a drill team for these kids, it\u2019s a safe haven. It\u2019s a support system. It\u2019s a loving family. It\u2019s a way of life.<\/p>\n

This remarkable community of partner organizations shares the mission to bring awareness of and access to arts and culture in Camden, NJ. Many of these organizations trace their beginnings to Sacred Heart Church, which has been nestled near the center of the Waterfront South neighborhood for well over 100 years, and to the visionary leadership of Father Michael Doyle. Father Michael saw the potential for life, for beauty, for art, on every street corner and in every empty lot, and those visions have taken root in many remarkable ways. The legacy of his presence shines in countless ways as one travels around the few blocks surrounding the parish. Father Michael\u2019s physical presence in the neighborhood remains constant even in retirement; he still lives across the street from his beloved Sacred Heart School.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space]

Although the ships that were built in Camden were intended for use outside of the safety of their berths here, the Camden Shipyard & Maritime Museum endeavors to give the memories of those ships, the shipbuilding industry from which they were born, and the maritime legacy of Camden, New Jersey, a permanent home and safe harbor.<\/p>\n

The mission of the Camden Shipyard & Maritime Museum is to educate, inspire, and engage citizens about Camden’s rich maritime heritage and significant contributions to global shipbuilding and seafaring exploration.\u00a0 <\/span>The museum will be an anchor institution for cultural enrichment and community development for Camden’s Waterfront South neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The Shipyard Museum is also home to the Urban BoatWorks program which\u00a0teaches middle and high school youth how to build wooden paddleboats, canoes, and kayaks. Since the program\u2019s first year in 2009, 47 boats have been handcrafted and launched on the water.[\/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE!” txt_align=”center” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”LEARN MORE” btn_style=”custom” btn_custom_background=”#136ebf” btn_custom_text=”#ffffff” btn_align=”center” btn_css_animation=”none” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.camdenshipyardmuseum.org%2F|target:_blank”][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”252″ img_size=”600×600″ alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom”][vc_column_text]The roots of the South Camden Theatre Company are deep, far deeper than the years during which we\u2019ve been producing plays at the Waterfront South Theatre. An amazing convergence of vision, generosity, talent, and hard work helped to form the theatre company we\u2019ve become. The vision was that of Father Michael Doyle, pastor of Sacred Heart Church, who knew a playwright, Joe Paprzycki. Father Michael encouraged Paprzycki to bring his work to Camden, to a stage built by volunteers in the basement of the Sacred Heart Church.<\/p>\n

Camden\u2019s first professional theatre strives to enhance the community by creating quality artistic productions while anchoring The Waterfront South Arts District. SCTC produces four shows per season including dramas, comedies, video events, and more. SCTC works to promote the Waterfront South neighborhood’s rebirth as a destination by providing a positive experience for its residents and those from the surrounding region. SCTC\u2019s goal is to entertain, engage, and educate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_cta h2=”VISIT OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN MORE!” txt_align=”center” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”LEARN MORE” btn_style=”custom” btn_custom_background=”#136ebf” btn_custom_text=”#ffffff” btn_align=”center” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.southcamdentheatre.org”][\/vc_cta][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]

The Writers House serves as a community space and provides educational programs to support literacy, creative writing, and self-expression through the writing of haiku and other verse forms. At the Writers House, NVHA and our partners Mighty Writers are providing services, food, diapers, and virtual workshops – that serve local and global audiences – during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association worked to create a permanent space to continuously offer educational programs, host events, and nurture poets of all ages and backgrounds.

Rufus the Cat and the Little Museum that Could <\/i><\/strong>is an imaginative children\u2019s coloring book about Waterfront South and the transformation of the former Church of Our Saviour into a new museum and a boat shop where Camden children construct real boats. All this is seen through the eyes of Rufus, a kitten hiding in the empty old church. The book describes the events surrounding the development of what is now the vibrant Camden Shipyard and Maritime Museum and Urban BoatWorks. Along the way, it highlights neighborhood links to the giant New York Shipbuilding Company, the historic Barnegat Lightship, and the famous Arctic explorer Mathew Henson. The book contains 19 charming, original illustrations by the noted local artist, Sarena Johnson.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the first volume of poetry from the Nick Virgilio Writers House. In this edition we have chosen to include the Japanese poetic forms: haiku, senryu, and tanka. As Nick once put it, \u201cA haiku is a record of emotion which somehow links human nature to all nature through keenly perceived experience.\u201d The authors we included either wrote their poems at our opening or they responded to a request for submissions. The list of contributors includes correspondents with Nick and\/or friends of the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association.<\/p>\n
