We work with community businesses, local schools, other arts organizations, and individual artists to provide a variety of quality arts experiences for  Cook and the surrounding area residents.

Here’s a sample of our past community enrichment programs:

•  Annually NWFA presents the Spring Art Expo, featuring area artist’s work in participating businesses, the gallery and churches. And we provide the venue for youth art, drama, a dance group, musicians and literary events during the Expo

• NWFA supports art education in the schools by giving a grant to the art teacher for supplies

• NWFA sponsored several classical music concerts featuring a cellist, pianist and harpist

• NWFA collaborates with Arrowhead Regional Arts Council providing grant application workshops

• NWFA holds Literary Night Readings

• Monthly member’s meetings with artists educational programs

• Facilitate grants to support local artist

• And much, much more.
