Happy March!

Happy Women's History Month!

This month's theme is centered in the CAFC core value of 'listening and responding.' We value your ideas, we are open to learning together, and we celebrate all perspectives. Always feel free to communicate with us.

We are here for our members, readers, and the Coastal Fairfield County community.

Let's keep expanding our essential arts and culture network.

Let's do our part to build a healthy, thriving Coastal Fairfield County.

SPREAD THE WORD

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Fairfield County's Giving Day last week. We exceeded our $3,000 goal by more than $1000 and we are thrilled!

Your support helps us achieve our mission — to strengthen creative community life by providing artists, creative businesses and cultural organizations with marketing, professional development, and advocacy services.

We believe that CAFC members are at the heart of vibrant communities. We know that we are "better together."

Thanks to you, we will continue to connect the CAFC network and give everyone the boost they need to do their amazing work. We will stay true to our core of connection and creative expression, which are the foundation of thriving individuals and communities.

Support for the Arts is Support for ALL.
