Mission Statement

5-Town Friends of the Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Five Town area residents by providing opportunities for all community members to participate in and appreciate the arts and cultural heritage of our region.

About Us

We are a group comprised of a dozen or so dedicated people, many of whom are artists and art teachers, who volunteer to serve on the Board. We always welcome new friends and board members, so please consider joining us! We are able to accomplish some of the 5-TFA mission by organizing, promoting, or otherwise facilitating events like live music, interactive art or writing and poetry. We also plan and present our annual Winter Gathering, where we  recognize and honor a community member whose contributions to the arts have made a significant and positive impact on the 5 Towns and beyond.

Our greatest strength is actively connecting monetary resources and donations to where they are needed most. Donations made to 5TFA, from people in the community who want to support the arts, go directly to organizations needing resources for art-related programs, and for our scholarships for students who have an interest in the arts.
