Warren & Ellen Smith Memorial Fund

In honor of Executive Director, Amy Williams and Program Director, Ellen Williams’ beloved parents and grandparents, we have established the Warren & Ellen Smith Memorial Fund.  This fund is a tribute to their enduring legacy and dedication to the arts.  Contributions will directly support a memorial garden and free community arts programming.  We invite you to celebrate their memory with a donation that will create a lasting impact.

The Annual Fund for Arts and Culture

The Annual Fund supports our daily initiatives to offer music and art instruction, art exhibitions, concerts, and various cultural activities for the community. Your donation will support our operating needs to continue our extensive programming.

Reinvent the Adler Estate

The Adler Arts Center has developed a master plan to restore and reinvent the historic estate and grounds of the Adler Center. This transformational project will expand programming and special event capacity. The plan includes restoration of the surrounding grounds creating a preeminent recreation space open to the community. The exterior will include a community picnic grove, restored alle’, gardens, courtyards, and an expanded parking area.  The building restoration will increase ADA accessibility and restore usable historic rooms for expanded programming and rental capacity. All efforts will increase our self-sustaining revenue potential while enhancing the lifestyle of area residents. The grounds and building will always remain open for the community to enjoy.

Scholarships

As a community cultural center, we believe in inclusion and access to arts and culture for everyone. Our goal is to expand our scholarship program and wish to limit any barrier to arts education. By supporting our scholarship program, you will help provide financial assistance for music and art instruction as well as our summer art, music and drama camps.

The Woods at Adler Restoration

Integrating nature with art, we are committed to partnering with local community organizations and businesses to clean up and restore the wooded areas of the Adler Arts Center estate to create an outdoor space that is free and accessible to all and encourages our community to look at nature and native landscapes as art.
