Inspiring, educating and creating
artistic opportunities within our community.
To Our Friends & Supporters:
With deep regrets.
After much careful and difficult deliberation,
the Board and staff of the Chambersburg Council for the Arts
have unanimously decided to close our physical location
effective December 31, 2024.
We are deeply proud of the work we have been able to accomplish
through our pioneering arts-education initiatives
and our strong community partnerships.
As we develop a vision for CFTA’s future,
we will continue to keep you informed.

Your Arts Community Would Be Less Colorful Without you.
Since 1987 the The Council for the Arts has relied on the support of committed art enthusiasts like you to help us fulfill our mission to inspire, educate and create artistic opportunities within our community.
Over the last few years the Council, like many organizations, has experienced new challenges. As a result of the global pandemic, we have been negatively impacted in so many ways. Most significantly for the Council, it meant closing our doors for an extended period of time. We have also suffered financially, as contributions from foundations and grants have decreased, been delayed or stopped entirely.

The Chambersburg Council for the Arts was established in 1987.
Our mission is to inspire, educate

We believe that art is the universal medium in which participants of all ages, neighborhoods, ethnicities, and cultures can share their experiences and that art is a vital force for advancing economic opportunities and building strong and engaged communities.
By making the arts accessible to all,
the Council for the Arts works to promote a community
that is inspired and innovative.
Council for the Arts is filled with passionate, creative people who strongly believe that art should be accessible to EVERYONE and is an important part of the foundation for a healthy community.
We will always be a welcoming place, offering an open mindset for everyone in and throughout our community.
