Become Part of ARCA’s Donor Family in 2018

Become a Member of Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts

It’s a wonderful time to be a part of the ARCA Membership Family. This bold cultural adventure, bringing glorious music and art to the beautiful Allegheny-Clarion River Valley, continues to be possible only because of the support of ARCA’s loyal and generous Members and Donors. We thank you for your support in the past and invite you to be a part of this year’s exciting festivities.

Once again your ARCA membership will give you discount pricing for events right here in the Valley that otherwise would only be available in larger cities at higher ticket prices (not to mention travel and parking). But as our ARCA family knows, it’s much more than that. ARCA is a place for you to come with your family and socialize with your friends and make new friends – at concerts, our annual Membership picnic, special donors events and at the very popular Meet the Artist and post-concert receptions at the Red Brick Gallery.

The 2018 season promises to be more dynamic than ever with innovative programming, premieres of celebrated new artists, the return of audience favorites, inspiring teaching artists in the schools and glorious new art exhibits and musical happenings at the Red Brick Gallery and Gift Shop.

ARCA’s 2018 season opens with the Academy Chamber Ensemble and Slippery Rock University Chamber Singers in Schubert’s glorious Mass in G and Croation Songs and Dances; a St. Patrick’s Day celebration with audience favorites, Carnival of Souls; AND ARCA continues its commitment to arts education bringing Beo String Quartet teaching artists to conduct a residency in the Allegheny-Clarion Valley Schools on “Finding the Melody”, with listening/perception engagement.

The Spring season blooms with premiers of new artists and brings back audience favorites: “HeartStrings: East Meets West”, with erhu and pipa musicians Mimi Jong and Yang Jin, fusion artists/vocalists in AppalAsia and the John Marcinizyn/Jim Ferla Guitar Duo with Daphne Alderson; Internationally renowned theatre organist Ken Double; Shane Alexander, internationally renowned singer/songwriter/gjuitarist, in “Smalltown in our Bloodstreams”; and PBS television stars, PURE GOLD in “Spring Doo Wop”;

Donna Edmonds, Artistic Director of the Red Brick Gallery and Gift Shop, promises another enticing year of exhibits by both visiting artists and ARCA’s award-winning resident cooperative artists members. For the third consecutive year, the RBG season will open in April with an inspiring exhibit of artwork by talented students in Anita Allen’s art classes at Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School, which you won’t want to miss! Current members of the Red Brick Gallery Artist Cooperative are Cheri Lee Anderton-Yarnell, Mark DeWalt, Donna Edmonds, Cindy Ford, Blanche Hall, Angela Taylor Hardwick, Cindy Irwin, Nick J. Karellas, Dennis Keyes, Jason Floyd Lewis, Paul O’Neil, Ray Rossi, Glenn and Linda Thompson, and Cathy and Jack Trzeciak. With your help in 2018, Red Brick Gallery exhibits and Gift Shop offerings promise to delight and inspire, continuing this high standard of excellence.

Because ticket sales cover only a fraction of the cost of events that it presents, ARCA relies on financial support from businesses, foundations, government agencies, and most importantly, individuals like you to make up the difference. Your gift is greatly appreciated, and helps make ARCA a vibrant contributor to the culture and sense of community of this region.

ARCA’s Board of Directors maintains prudent oversight of all donated income and seriously values that their fiduciary responsibility is a bond of trust between you and the organization. As demonstrated over the years, you can have faith in that tradition continuing.

Thank you for all you have done and given to ARCA as Members and volunteers over the years. We invite you to renew your Membership and hope you will please consider increasing your gift in 2018. Together, we will sustain ARCA’s legacy for the future, enriching lives and expanding hearts and minds through the power of music and art.
