The Washington College Friends of the Arts is a service group affiliated with the College. It seeks to engage the regional community in the College's fine and performing arts programs by helping the College publicize its arts events, mount exhibitions, host receptions, coordinate events with other local arts groups, and support arts education at the College through annual and endowed scholarships.

The College has a full schedule of theater productions, visual art exhibitions, concerts, readings, dance events, films, and lecture series; and we encourage interested members of the public to join us and bring their friends. Please check the College's website calendar regularly for events.

For more information about the WC Friends of the Arts, you may contact our Chairman, Mr. Erasmus Kloman, writepaint@verizon.net. Your interest and support are greatly appreciated!
