Friends of the Art Center
As City leaders are finalizing the details that
will bring an Art Center to Eden Prairie and working
to develop new community arts programs, a new
volunteer committee has formed with a goal of
securing the funding that will give life to the new
Art Center.
Friends of the Eden Prairie Art Center, made up
of volunteers from the community, has set a goal of
raising $500,000 in contributions to cover
renovation and start-up costs. These donations will
not only bring the Art Center to life, but will help
to create a place where future generations can learn
about the arts.
The Friends of the Eden Prairie Art Center
committee is already planning several exciting
community events and fundraisers, the first of which
will take place in September. For more information
about Art Center fundraising opportunities, or to
find out how you can contribute, contact Stacy
Desai, Friends of the Eden Prairie Art Center chair,
at 952-944-8106 or
Sdesai_MN@earthlink.net.
The Art Center, located at 7650 Equitable
Drive, is scheduled to open in early 2009.
When completed, it will be a place for fostering
creativity in the community for many years to
come.
