Community Arts Foundation

President’s Message The Community Arts Foundation is currently preparing to host our “Donor Circle Thank You Event”. While each and every donor is important to our community, the individuals, companies and Foundations who make up the Donor Circle, have given at the $259 to $5000 or more level, for a total of over $30,000 this fiscal year for the Foundation Scholarship program.

We saw amazing Community Spirit during our February “Be at the Heart of Art’ Campaign. Ninety community members participated to help raise $2000 for our scholarships. Every bit of support, whether it is $5 or $5000 makes a difference for a member of our community who would otherwise not be able to participate in the arts.

This year, we celebrated our 5th grant from the Quest Foundation. They provided a matching grant of $25,000 to help fund preschool and Camp Community Arts scholarships. We plan to recognize their generous support by setting a plaque honoring their ongoing commitment to the arts, in the courtyard at the Shadelands Center. Thank you Quest Foundation for your continuing support!

On behalf of the Foundation Board, Center for Community Arts staff and the scholarship recipients, I thank you for your amazing support this year! Together we are making a difference for people in our community by providing “Arts for All”.

NEW | Life Skills: Public Speaking and MediKids Combo Camp As parents, we do everything to make our children confident and ensure they live healthy lives. This camp will bring out the confidence of your kids through public speaking as well as inspire your children to learn about healthy habits and bodies, using fun activities and thoughtful presentations. Days will start off with building confidence and skills in public speaking. The goal is for your child to start developing more confidence and skills in expressing themselves to a group. They begin to understand the concepts and importance of maintaining eye contact, good posture, volume and expressions. The second half of the day will focus on a fun medical program where children get excited to check their pulse rates, count bones from X-rays, compare nutrition labels, and learn more about their bodies and healthy habits.
