Celebrate a Year of Art, Music & Community — and Help Us Grow in 2026
Written by Kristin Koptiuch and edited by Cosmo Jones
Dear Friends of NCAM,
What an incredible year for arts and culture in Rockaway Beach. Thanks to your participation and support, the Neah-Kah-Nie Coast Art Music & Cultural Foundation (NCAM) hosted a slate of vibrant community events in 2025—from the Rockaway Writers Rendezvous to the lively Rockaway Beach Music Festival—that brought neighbors, visitors, and local businesses together.
Because of you, these events didn’t just succeed—they flourished. And we’re already planning to bring them back bigger, better, and even more community-centered in 2026.
Please hold the dates for next year’s cultural programming:
Rockaway Writers Rendezvous: April 24–26, 2026. Contests open December 1, 2025
Rockaway Beach Music Festival: August 2026 (third weekend in August)
Auction Dinner Anthology Release: November 2026 (2nd Sunday of November)
As we approach the season of gratitude and giving, we want to say thank you for being part of NCAM’s story. Whether you attended an event, volunteered, helped spread the word, or donated, your support fuels our mission to build a thriving arts and culture scene on Oregon’s North Coast.
If you are making end-of-year charitable gifts, we hope you’ll keep NCAM in mind. To donate, simply visit: https://www.ncamfoundation.org/donate
NOTE: We accept just about any form of donation including crypto, mutual funds, DAFs, and more!
Your contribution has double the impact this year: NCAM is now eligible for the Oregon Cultural Trust’s matching donation and state tax credit program. When you make a gift to NCAM and then match it with the Oregon Cultural Trust (www.culturaltrust.org), you can receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit while supporting arts and culture across Oregon.
Thank you for believing in what we’re building together. Here’s to another year of creativity, community, and possibility.
Warmly,
Neah-Kah-Nie Coast Art Music & Cultural Foundation (NCAM)
