Donate

Heart of the Arts, Inc. (HAI) will only be able to complete the renovations of the 1912 Center with the support of the community. Because HAI is a 501 (c) (3) your donation is tax deductible. Your donation will go directly to the completion of the facility and will not be used for operations. HAI completed a successful fundraising campaign for the "West Wing" project in 2008. This renovation added the Arts Workshop, the Fiske Family Community Meeting Room and a dressing room/restroom to the 1912 Center.

In 2010 HAI has continued the renovations of the shell of the 1912 Center. The west end of the facility was completed in January, getting 23 new windows, tuckpointing, cornice painting and repairs to the entrance way. The north side now has 30 new windows installed and the tuckpointing work is near completion. Later this year we anticipate begining site work at the 1912 Center adding additional parking spaces to the west end of the building before winter. If you can to be a part of this project please make a donation today!
