For decades, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Center for the Arts has been integral to the cultural life of Northern Virginia. With a new campaign, it’s heading toward its next big premiere: a reimagined facility.

Thanks to the generous donors and visionary artists, George Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s campuses are home to a treasure trove of sculptures, paintings, and installations that inspire and engage the George Â鶹ÊÓƵ community and visitors alike.

Long before there was a Center for the Arts, a group of community members worked diligently to help make the arts an integral part of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s burgeoning campus life.

They serve as advocates, championing creativity and cultural expression in ways that strengthen communities, widen perspectives, and inspire future generations. Here we highlight a few of the donors playing a role in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Arts priorities in the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Now: Power the Possible campaign.
