Woodstock Fine Arts Association Mission

Since 1961, the Woodstock Fine Arts Association (WFAA) has championed the arts in McHenry County. We provide local access to distinguished speakers through the Creative Living Series, foster an early appreciation of the arts through children’s programs, invest in the artistic development of area youth through scholarships and talent programs, and help preserve the historic Woodstock Opera House as a beautiful and vital community asset.

WFAA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors whose members share a passion for making meaningful arts experiences accessible to the greater community.

Effective WFAA board members are:

• Passionate about the arts and WFAA’s mission
