Colonial Arts Challenge 

Support the future of live arts and art education in Buckhannon, WV! 

To ensure the Colonial Arts Center’s lasting, positive impact on the greater Buckhannon community, the CAC Board has launched the Colonial Arts Challenge, which will raise $350,000 by 2024, and secure a future that will match the rich history of the Colonial Theatre. 

Old brick building with a marquee that says 'TRIC,' decorated with a four-leaf clover and red wings for St. Patrick's Day, and a string of small American flags hanging across the front.
A three-story brick building with a marquee sign that says "BU CAMERA CLUB EXHIBIT MAY 5 TO 27." The entrance has a striped red and white facade, and there is a man in a blue t-shirt and shorts walking in front of it.
Colorful street art with swirling yellow and black patterns on the sidewalk and large, vibrant geometric designs on panels above the wall at Traders Alley, under a partly cloudy sky.
