The Woodstock Fine Arts Association
Strives to develop a balance of fine arts productions and educational activities for the benefit and enjoyment of the entire community, and to restore the Opera House to its rightful role as the center of these activities. A most significant step toward these goals was the "Historic Landmark" designation given the Opera House by the Woodstock City Council in March, 1972. This ordinance insures the preservation and continued use of the building because of its special historical, community and aesthetic value.
The association's programs for this year include: The Creative Living Series, entering its ninth season; Affiliate Artists, Inc., sponsored jointly by the WFAA, National Endowment for the Arts, Sears Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council; Student Summer Theater Program; Ballet Classes, which began their fifth season this year; In-School "Encounter with the Theater" Program in McHenry County; Children's Theater; and other exciting events now being planned by the program committee,
Funding for these activities and for the restoration work on the Opera House are prOVided through ticket sales, grants, contributions and association membership fees.
