Arts Center Task Force
Transforming our Community through the Vista Arts Center

IT'S TIME TO TAKE ACTION!

We have the LAND. We have the ARCHITECTS.
We need 1000 people to DONATE in the next two weeks to build the Vista Arts Center.

 

Your donation will:
• Influence the big donors to step up. The sooner we all donate, the stronger the message.
• Hire LMN Architects (see donate page) so we will know what the arts center will look like,
how it will function, and how much it will cost.

Any amount. Spread the word.
 Or mail your check to ACTF, PO Box 2131, Richland, WA 99352

The Arts Center Task Force is the sponsor of the Vista Arts Center, which will be located in the heart of the Vista Field Redevelopment Project. We invite you to join us in transforming our community through this non-profit facility. Through your donations and sponsorships, we are the ones who can make the Vista Arts Center a reality.

There are many benefits of taking the Vista Arts Center from idea to reality. For some, the Vista Arts Center will set the cornerstone for economic development at Vista Field.  For others, it will provide a home for the performing and visual arts and enhance our quality of life. Students of all ages will be able to grow from the educational experiences they experience at Vista. Tourism will flourish and businesses will boost their recruitment and retention of employees by offering the feeling of a large urban city – all wrapped up in a friendly hometown atmosphere. 

Today, the Vista Arts Center is a goal. We, the citizens of this region, are the ones who have the opportunity to make it a reality and transform our community though our sponsorships and donations.
