46 PELHAM ART CENTER 50 YEARS!CELEBRATES

In the spring of 1970 Pelham Art Center was born as a two-day art and music festival called “The Pelham Art Happening.” In 1985 a former gas station was donated to create a permanent home for the Pelham Art Center. Through community love and support for the arts, a 5,500 square foot art facility was built including art studios, a courtyard, and an exhibition space.

Support our Vision! We have begun making plans for rennovations and improvements. You can support this by making a donation or considering a Legacy Gift.

Donors like to leave a gift to charity in their will, estate plan, or as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or insurance policy. As Pelham Art Center celebrates 50 years of impact, we encourage you to consider making a Legacy Gift to ensure that our work continues. For more information, contact Bridget Bettke, [email protected] or Charlotte Mouquin, [email protected]
