The Challenge
Support from a diverse array of sources is vital to the success of the completion of a center for the arts. Past contributors had the vision to lay the foundation in the creation of a cultural arts complex in Central Virginia. Please join this group in their support of this project! The future of the arts for generations to follow depends on support from all central Virginians.
How can you help?
Donations are needed for both operating and construction. Donations to the Annual Fund are made on a year to year basis to cover day to day operations. Our fiscal year begins October 1 of each year and ends the following September 30.
How can you give?
Donations of cash, pledges, and stock are traditional ways to contribute. Bequests and Charitable Trusts leave a lasting legacy to ensure the future of the arts for generations. View Gift Ideas here and consult your financial advisor to determine which type of charitable trust works for you.
Why give?
The obvious answer is to support the arts. The AFA offers productions and workshops for youth. Teens experience contemporary music and dance from local and regional performers. College students and adults enjoy a wide range of comedy, contemporary, pop, traditional and world music. Broadway musicals, comedy, jazz, pop, dance, opera, chamber, symphony, country, gospel can be expected on any given weekend.
Be assured that naming opportunities promised to Academy of Music donors in the old campaign will be honored in the new Academy of Fine Arts. There are more naming opportunities available in the lobby of the Arts & Education Center. As the design work is completed for the historic theatre, lobbies, and Administration Building, additional opportunities will be created.

Residents have long awaited the realization of this dream. The Board of Trustees realizes that raising the required funding for completion is unprecedented in the history of Central Virginia. It has adopted a plan designed not only to ensure successful completion, but operational sustainability. The commitment of our leadership is unwavering. Our inspiration is that few cities have the chance to build an arts complex around a historic gem, a building that is such an integral part of our history and our future.
