Spring is a season of renewal, and at the Alleghany Arts Council, we are blooming with excitement for our annual Grow the Arts fundraising and awareness drive. This initiative is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of the creativity that flourishes in our mountains. From hands-on workshops like ‘Pints & Plants’ to kids activities like the Kids Chalk Drawing Contest, every dollar raised helps us cultivate local talent and keep the arts accessible for everyone in Alleghany County.
