History
Homeward Bound Painting by Mary Borowski
The Center for the Arts Lake Sunapee Region (CFA) is a non-profit organization with a volunteer board, which supports visual artists, performers, writers, and arts organizations in the communities of Andover, Bradford, Danbury, Grantham, New London, Newbury, Newport, Springfield, Sunapee, Sutton, Warner, and Wilmot. CFA also serves the 32,000 residents of these communities by providing quality affordable cultural programming all year-long.
Before the creation of the CFA, there were few programs in the Lake Sunapee Region/Kearsarge which offered free and affordable arts events for all ages, nor was there an organization which supported the many creative individuals in this region.
Since 2010, the CFA has been developing and growing programs that connect artists with the community. CFA has established itself as an integral part of the Lake Sunapee community beginning with microgallery exhibits in local businesses, and later educational, literary, performance, and humanities programs and events.
About
The CFA is a non-profit organization that provides a variety of creative, educational, and enriching community events which expand opportunities for artists to share their work and gain visibility.
By offering educational grants and scholarships, the CFA supports those who dream of becoming artists and those who inspire others to achieve that dream.
​
The CFA seeks out artists who want their voices to be heard and broadens the public’s awareness of their art through events, shows, programs, and collaborations with other like-minded organizations.
