Impact Report 2024/25 Fiscal Year
The impact of the 2024–2025 fiscal year at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts reflects steady momentum, strong partnerships, and a clear commitment to excellence. Click here to view our Impact Report.
Throughout the year, the Wilson Center prioritized excellence and invested in partnerships with school districts, student performers, teaching artists, businesses and community organizations. Each week brought something new: a musical performance, a gallery opening, a class filled with learners of all ages, or a community gathering that reminded us why the arts matter. This variety of experiences showcased the heart of our work: offering meaningful arts programming that welcomes people in and brings them together.
This impact was possible because of donors who believe in the value of the arts and the importance of lifelong arts education and experiences. Their contributions, paired with the commitment of our patrons, set the stage for high-quality programming and the ability to operate with responsibility and care for your investments. Please scan the QR code on the back of this impact report for more information including testimonials and our donor list.
To our incredible support system: Thank you for believing in the importance of a strong multidisciplinary arts center in our region. We carry this momentum forward and invite continued partnership in the work that lies ahead. For more information on partnerships, investments, and programming, please contact: Bridget Munson, Development Director.
