Together, we thrive

Since its inception in 2008, the Hutchinson Center for the Arts functioned as a service organization for other arts & culture partners in our community. All of these groups are independent from the Center and have their own programming, and the Center provides them with support in various forms so they can focus on their missions and thrive.
