Theatre and Creative Play classes with Sarah and Matt are in process! Register now for second session.

Dear members present, past and prospective….
More than ever, we need your membership-investment. Aside from our corporate members you all are our second largest source of income. It allows us to do what we do…bring the arts to all people of all walks of life. It truly does take a village! Last year we created, produced or collaborated on more than 40 projects and special events. We would like to do more! That doesn’t include the visual arts, theatre, and music classes that are offered during the week throughout the year to youth and adults. And if you haven’t yet heard, CTFAC, collaborating with Tarleton Fine Arts Department & Student Programming, is bringing the Mosow Repertory Ballet to town in November. Members will get priority notice to purchase tickets! Please help us continue our mission of bringing the arts to life in Erath and surrounding counties. I hope you enjoy the poem submitted by our founder, Connie Birdsong. It truly says it all! Click on the link above that says “member form” and renew or join today!

The Little Building That Does

Our little building on a tree lined street
Might not quickly catch your eye.
With brick and mortar, it’s kind of square
And you just might pass it by.

But once you stop and go inside
You’ll surely be back for more.
“Cause there’s photos and painting and drama there
from ceiling to the floor!

Classes are held, for folks of all ages,
In theater and visual art.
Cameras and pencils and brushes work well
and all of it comes from the heart.

Field trips and music and parties are planned
From New Year’s through December.
With all these programs and special events,
We plead you to remember.

This little building can’t do it alone
As hard as we may try.
There’s payroll and printing and bills galore
And lots of stuff to buy.

So please be generous in your membership
As we need you more than ever.
This little building is here for you
And we won’t give up—no never!
