Concord Art Centennial Campaign

Concord Center for the Visual Arts (Concord Art) is 100 years old and counting! We were founded in 1922 by Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts, an American Impressionist and philanthropist, whose mission—to promote and advance the visual arts and artists and to enrich and sustain our cultural community—still stands today. Now with more than 1,000 members, Concord Art is still a leading contemporary art exhibition space and a vital studio art school.  

In honor of such a milestone, Concord Art has embarked on a Centennial Campaign to raise funds to replace our single outgrown and overworked classroom with a much larger and more flexible two-classroom space. Enhanced by state-of-the-art ventilation, improved lighting for art making, multi-purpose sinks, and much needed storage, this upgrade will serve our community into the next 100 years. We are aiming to double the size of our classroom space and convert it into a multipurpose area fit for all sorts of programming, including classes, workshops, events, and rentals.
