Blue Ridge ArtSpace Capital Campaign

Bringing the Blue Ridge ArtSpace vision to life requires a community-wide financial commitment. ArtSpace has already received generous grants from a number of local businesses, several in-kind donations, and budget allocations from Watauga County and the Town of Boone, all of which point to significant public and private support for the project.

The ArtSpace business plan calls for the facility to be self-supporting within three years. In the meantime, funds are needed for renovation and operating costs.

The ArtSpace Capital Campaign provides two attractive and tax-deductible opportunities for supporting the development of a true community arts center—one that will figure significantly in coming years in the region’s reputation as a desirable destination and in its economic development.
