Walter Frame, Spruce Peak Arts Center Foundation Board President, expressed, "The inaugural membership campaign is vital to the success of the Performing Arts Center and Foundation. Widespread community support will ensure diverse programming, educational outreach opportunities, a gathering place for local residents, and enhance the creative and cultural soul of Stowe. Our not-for-profit model requires community support to nurture this wonderful gift provided by 37 families who funded the initial development of the Arts Center. The Arts Center's identity is defined by the community's support and encouragement."
