CPFA Annual Author Event

supported by Friends

has been CANCELED.

A new Event will be announced soon.

Please read the following letter from the committee.

From the CHESHIRE PERFORMING & FINE ARTS COMMITTEE (CPFA)

Dear Friends,

        Established in 1987, Artsplace remains the only town-owned art school in Connecticut.  Artsplace is represented by eleven members of the Cheshire Performing & Fine Arts Committee also known as CPFA with a mission “to encourage and promote the arts” in town.

The CPFA Committee annually awards Richard Conrad Memorial Scholarships in June to seniors at Cheshire High School pursuing a career in the arts.   Awards are given to students who seek a career path in music, lighting, photography, dance, drama, industrial design, art education, etc.

In the past funds have been raised through collaboration with the Friends of CPFA/Artsplace, Inc., a 501.c3 support group by holding an annual Author Event.  Popularity of this event has waned and the CPFA Committee now requires help to accomplish the scholarship’s goals.

Would you consider donating to help fund this investment in arts education through supporting the CPFA Scholarship?  No amount is too small.  To do so, simply complete the information below and leave cash or check payable to “The Friends of CPFA/Artsplace, Inc.” in secure drop box in lobby or with a credit card by scanning the QR code below.  The grateful thank you note you receive will provide information to claim your charitable donation on tax documents.

Thank you-

Cheshire Performing and Fine Arts Committee

Our Mission

Friends of CPFA/Artsplace, Inc. is a 501c3 charitable organization established in 2003 to promote the arts and support the efforts of CPFA/Artsplace (hereafter “Artsplace”) in Cheshire, CT.

The Friends’ organization represents a wide range of individuals who share in our mission to improve and enhance the lives of our population through the arts and our exemplary Art Heals (see in menu) program has been a sought after model by other towns.

Friends funding is built primarily by donations and fundraising and residing at CPFA Artsplace in Cheshire provides the administrative efficiencies for the organization’s business operations.  

Friends continually sponsors events that will bring performing and fine arts events to fruition encompassing improv groups, puppetry performances, dance demonstrations and related workshops.

Cheshire Performing and Fine Arts (CPFA) is the new sponsor of the annual author event and Friends of CPFA/Artsplace (Friends) will remain as financial managers of the event on their behalf. Funds raised will be used towards the CPFA scholarship program. CPFA and Friends greatly appreciate your continued support of this event.
