The Farmington Valley Arts Center (FVAC) in Avon, Connecticut is pleased to announce that Cindy Ingram has joined the organization as it’s Director of Development. Cindy’s key focus will be on developing fundraising events and programs to attract and engage the communities of Avon, the Farmington Valley, and beyond.

The Farmington Valley Arts Center’s mission is to enrich lives through art. We are dedicated to cultivating a community where people can create, learn, exhibit, exchange ideas and inspire each other. We welcome and
support participants of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds on their personal
artistic journey.

“I look forward to making FVAC more visible in the community, to holding events at the Arts Center and local hot spots, and getting people excited about upcoming art shows and participating in classes,” shares Cindy.
“Especially in these times of stress and responsibility, there is nothing more wonderful than artistic expression.”

Cindy is also looking forward to partnering with other local businesses and non -profit organizations to explore how collaboration and partnership can benefit the wider community.
