Ways to Give

Support the Workhouse Arts Center

Every year the Workhouse Arts Center, a project of the Workhouse Arts Foundation, raises funds to fuel inspiration and provide engaging arts experiences for more than 100,000 people annually in support of our mission. Through all of our programs, Workhouse is elevating the cultural fabric of our local and regional communities through the transformative power of the arts.

There are a number of ways that you can invest in the Workhouse.
