THE NORWALK CONSERVATORY

OUR HISTORY

The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts was founded in 2018 by industry creatives with the goal of creating a space that was equal parts training and opportunity. The Conservatory is comprised of a faculty of the greatest artists currently working in theatre and television. Located in Norwalk, Connecticut, our campus is in the backyard of the biggest theatre city in the world. We operate as a space where the artists of today can train, audition for professional work, and grow simultaneously. The conservatory built The LINK Program which developed into the full two-year conservatory that comprises NoCo today. With many alumni working on Broadway and on Television, a faculty of the most pivotal artists, close proximity to New York City, small class sizes, and a curriculum built for today’s industry, The Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts is Connecticut’s premiere training program for young artists.
