We’ll be hosting a fun and interactive event with activities for all ages, including a pottery smash tent, face painting, a fundraising art auction, and more. As a small nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us continue our mission. We believe that art has the power to bring people together, and we are passionate about making art accessible to everyone in New Milford and beyond.

In addition to our events and exhibitions, we offer programs like tuition assistance, our Studio Affair (a free monthly gathering), and the Unexpected Artist program, all designed to help people of all ages and backgrounds connect with their creative potential.

You can learn more about us at www.villagecenterarts.org and @villagecenterarts on Instagram, we would be thrilled if you could include our story and event in your news coverage. Your support would mean the world to us and to everyone in the community who benefits from the arts.
