Ways to give

To continue to preserve the rich history of our legacy and further expand our presence in the community, we are moving.

Help us transform a beloved arts organization from a former 1975 “Piggly-Wiggly” site to “Our New Home” in the heart of Carrboro at 400 Roberson Street. The repurposed facility will increase our capacity to deliver excellent arts education and create more opportunities for community engagement.
