Celebrating the success of our Artist Cottage 4 campaign!
Thank you everyone who pitched in and especially the Thomas A & Georgina T Russo Family Foundation for helping us pay off our mortgage in full and on time along with helping pay for necessary repairs to this aging structure.
A brilliant strategic goal fulfilled!
Our strategic planning goal for the past for the past decade or more has been to free the school from dependency on rentals, which can be unstable and unpredictable.
Moreover, artists make the areas they live and work in more desirable leading to cost of living increases that drive them out of the very communities they enrich. The school’s brick and mortar efforts protect it from being priced out.
Steady support from Mt Gretna and beyond has helped us to successfully purchase 4 artist cottages to house our students, faculty and visiting artists.
Stay tuned for the final piece of our startup puzzle!
A classroom space of our own.
Hard to imagine that after 12 years we’re still in startup mode. The final piece of our startup plan is to secure our own classroom space. We’re working hard to launch news of this campaign soon! We will need your help! If you’re interested in helping with our capital needs, please call 717-823-8367
