87% of our Operating Budget comes from public dollars donated by the business community, our members and friends. The outpouring of generous support from our community is the reason we can celebrate 54 years of keeping the Arts Alive in our region.
It’s our goal to maintain and enhance our existing events while creating exciting new ones. Therefore, we are asking for your financial support to guarantee the success of our more than 21 programs. Your support helps to make our endeavors possible:
- Festivals: The annual Log House Arts Festival and Holly Bazaar provide income for area and regional Craftsmen and Artists: 180 Craftsmen earn over $200,000. In addition, ARToberFEST offers free artistic experiences for 800+ local children and youth.
- Exhibitions: 9 Annual Exhibits in the Goldhaber-Fend Fine Arts Center Gallery showcase artwork of local, regional and national artists, including the annual Greater Johnstown Young Artists Exhibit, Allied Artists Summer Show, & Greater Johnstown Camera Club. Permanent museums and galleries include the Ponas Doll Museum, Shirley Gaynor Collection, and M. Josephine Paul Family Museum.

- Art Scholarship Program: $79,350 in scholarships has been awarded over 55 years.

Additional offerings include artist lectures, demos, and exhibition tours for groups and schools, supported by PA EITC Funding.
