A special thanks to our Charter Patrons who have provided foundational support enabling us to present engaging exhibitions, innovative programs and enriching experiences that elevate the quality of life in our community and ensure that the arts are accessible to all. Our Charter Patrons made the dream of creating the magnificent Mary M. Torggler Fine Arts Center come true. We look forward to celebrating the wonderful ways that their contributions change lives through the wonder of the visual arts.
