Welcome to the Windham Area Arts Collaborative!
The Windham Area Arts Collaborative is a state appointed Local Arts Agency comprised of and founded by individual member artists and arts organizations residing in Northeast Connecticut. As a 501c3 non-profit arts organization, our mission is to "... foster and promote the arts and cultural life of the Windham region by maintaining a centralized, multicultural, multidisciplinary, and multifaceted arts center where artists and artisans can interact with the public by sharing their creative endeavors."
We strive to support the wealth of cultural activities in our region as a source of information for the community, advocacy for the arts, artists educational workshops and a variety of programs and events. Our home in the Windham Arts Center & Gallery provides a centralized location in the heart of the Arts & Entertainment district in downtown Willimantic. Here we encourage the development of the arts community by providing space for 10 studio artists, exhibit opportunities in our galleries for members and visual artists living east of the Connecticut River, and planning areas for member organizations and creative community events. We also welcome and encourage performers of all kinds to share their projects and talent with the public in The Annex, our venue for area performing artists.
