Building Community Through The Arts Since 1972
Half a century of building community through the arts is quite an accomplishment (if we can toot our own horn for a minute). None of it, however, is possible without the many artists, students, audience-members, gallery-goers, parents, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who had the vision and fortitude to create such a special and enduring place on Capitol Hill.
