We need your support
There’s a sort of magic, a special sparkle, that happens at the Farmington Valley Arts Center. The magic is what people FEEL when experiencing what we offer. And despite the challenges of the last few years, the sparkle is only getting brighter. However... we are not without our struggles. Class fees barely cover the cost of materials and hiring high-caliber instructors. Our scholarships and community outreach programs require ongoing, much-needed funding. Energy costs have increased dramatically, and our charmingly rustic 170-year-old buildings require constant maintenance and upgrades. We hope you will consider supporting our community. Together, we will continue to build a vibrant arts community where we not only create and experience art but foster the community and connection you’ve come to expect for nearly fifty years from the Farmington Valley Arts Center.
In creativity ❤️,
Carol Kaplan, Executive Director & Helen Thomas, Board President
