The Arts Fund

The Arts Fund was created in 2006 as a collaborative effort of Arts Monongahela and the Greater Morgantown Community Trust to provide important and much needed operating support to its member organizations. The assistance of the Arts Fund allows the organizations more time to focus on their programming and services.

The quality of life in Morgantown is enhanced by the activities and programs these organizations present each year from arts education to theater and dance productions.
