WCFA Board of Directors

The WCFA Board of Directors are volunteers with a passion for the arts who enjoy sharing their talents and enthusiasm with the organization and it’s community. The Board meetings are on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, with the exception of July and August. There are many ways to get involved from committee work on programs, exhibits, finance, fundraising, or governance to simply helping set up for receptions or sweeping up after! We couldn’t do the amazing work we do day after day for 50 years without the over 80 board members that have been stewards for the WCFA and the historic building
