About Us

Rockaway Music and Arts Council has been bringing the arts to Rockaway and adjacent communities since its incorporation in 1955, making it the oldest, continuous cultural organization on the Rockaway Peninsula. During this time RMAC has run the gamut from Benny Goodman and Itzhak Perlman at Beach Channel HS to our free Sunset Picnic Concert Series at Fort Tilden, Gateway National Recreation Area, featuring a variety of music and performers. RMAC's annual Fall Festival is a family fun weekend and has no equal on the Peninsula. The Festival brings thousands of visitors to the area to view/buy the many arts and crafts exhibited as well as to enjoy the music, performers, and demonstrations. .

RMAC  sponsors and provides materials to the Music Memory Program for local school children and arranges for various groups to perform in our schools. The organization also sponsors tours to museums and other sites of cultural interest.

Rockaway Music & Arts Council consists of a small group of volunteers who have contributed to its success. If you are interested in joining us or have any questions, please refer to contact information below.

Our Mission

Rockaway Music and Arts Council is dedicated to promoting and supporting community appreciation of the performing, visual, and literary arts.

   The Music Memory Program  was created by the Riverside Symphony to foster an appreciation of fine music in young people. The program was introduced to New York City school children 'in 1999 and was chosen to be sponsored by Rockaway Music and Arts Council in our local schools. At present a total of eight schools are now involved in the program. They are P.S. 42, 43, 47, 104, 106, 183, 215, and 225.
   Our Writers Group is composed of those who have an inclination to write, whether it be a poem, play, musical, book (children's or adult), or memoirs. The group meets every Saturday to read and critique either published works or works-in-progress.
