Celebrating 50 Years of Creativity, Community & Connection

"Art is the Highest Form of Hope"

Since 1971, we have served this community—a community that is curious about the world and eager for arts and cultural experiences. We’ve welcomed amazing artists and thinkers. We’ve provided generations of local students with a strong foundation in the arts. We’ve connected our community through creativity, conversation, and BIG IDEAS.

We are so grateful to our many supporters as we reflect on our past 5o years and look ahead to 100 years.
