Dear BarnArts Community Member:
We are excited to share with you that BarnArts is now planning its 9th season! What began as an idea in 2012 is now a thriving arts organization, in no small part due to your support. In the last few years, your donations have allowed us to expand our opportunities for youth and also provide more community gathering experiences that are free of cost, such as our Community Contra Dances during the Winter and Spring and our BarnArts Chorales, which begin rehearsals this month, now with a new teen chorale! In 2020 we will again be producing larger scale plays which allow our youth performers and also aspiring thespians the opportunity to act with experienced adult actors.
Support comes to BarnArts in many ways: some donate time or share facilities, materials and expertise; many donate money to help cover overhead expenses and keep our ticket prices low and affordable, assuring all can attend our events or participate in our programs. Your financial support is critical to BarnArts’ survival as a community-run, community-focused arts organization that exists to serve a community that views art as essential to social well-being.
We have many exciting events planned for the upcoming season:

We hope you will join us for these festive and celebratory community events!
Your support of BarnArts this year will help keep our youth and adult programming thriving, for our viewers and our participants! Please consider making a donation to BarnArts to help keep our work vital and supportive of our local community.
