Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your support of The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. Whether you attend exciting performances, take classes, stroll through outstanding art exhibits, rent space for private celebrations and meetings, purchase fabulous gifts from the Atack Family Gift Shop or all of the above, we treasure your involvement. It is so much fun to be able to greet you as you visit and support the Center!

Our future is bright! We are looking forward to adding even more to our robust programming that

will offer new and different options for enjoying the arts. “Like” and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram or check our website frequently for updates. Also, consider signing up for our email distribution to keep up with the latest news from the Center.

As we move forward, we will continue to celebrate our past. We are amazed at the growth we have experienced and the impact we have been able to create in the community. Center Season features local, regional, national and international talent. First Fridays play host to our 2nd Stage cabaret-style series featuring the best in local entertainment. Our class schedule is bigger and better than ever. Our art exhibits continue to attract amazing artists from across the region and around the world!

Over the past few years, we have focused on art outreach programs to create quality art experiences throughout the community. We are very proud of our continuing partnership with the Henrico Police Athletic League (PAL) where our Art Matters program teaches art, poetry and music classes to a great group of kids after school two days a week. Artful Living provides life-long learning experiences to older adults throughout the community. We have teamed up with Commonwealth Parenting and the Children’s Museum of Richmond to develop Creative Family Dinner Studio to not only teach the arts, but also build stronger families in our community. We believe that the arts make a difference in people’s lives … and we intend to do everything within our ability to reach out to those who can benefit the most from our endeavors.

As you can imagine, programming of this quality does not come without a price tag. That is why we hope you will support our efforts with your monetary gifts, legacy donations and spreading the word about the work we are doing. The Cultural Arts Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies upon private and public support to bring unparalleled arts programming to the community. Please consider supporting us through a tax deductible donation. Your contributions help us continue to present great shows and programs at reasonable prices and to fulfill our mission of inspiring and enriching the community by offering exceptional cultural performances, classes and visual art exhibits.

Thank you for your support. See you at The Center!

The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and enriching the community through exceptional cultural performances, classes, and visual arts exhibits. We strive to provide a warm and welcoming environment for students, patrons, and visitors of all ages and backgrounds to experience the arts.

The Center is committed to giving back to the Greater Richmond community through the arts. When you give to The Center’s annual fund, your tax-deductible gift helps underwrite the costs of the programs you enjoy as well as support our growing outreach programs. Art Matters brings the arts to at-risk youth through the Henrico Police Athletic League. Artful Living offers free and subsidized art classes to older adults. Creative Family Dinner Studio brings families together for a healthy, nutritious meal and an evening of art class, as parents learn positive parenting techniques to help build stronger families, and stronger relationships.

Giving is Easy!There are many ways to support The Center through a tax-deductible donation to our annual fund. Some patrons include a contribution when they purchase their tickets to Center Season or 2nd Stage. Others make their contribution online through our web-site, www.artsglenallen.com. Many corporations have matching giving programs as well, which can instantly double your gift! Please check to see if your company has one, and if CACGA is registered.

No matter how you give or the dollar amount, your contribution strengthens The Center’s capacity to bring high quality yet affordable arts programming to the community. We believe that everyone should have access to the arts. Please help us to continue to provide the arts to everyone!
