MORNING NEWS: Reg Lenna, Arts Council Announce Joint-Merger

August 6, 2013 By WRFA Leave a Comment

JAMESTOWN – Two major arts organizations in southern Chautauqua County are merging together.

After decades of close collaboration and support, the Arts Council for Chautauqua County and the Reg Lenna Civic Center will merge into one organization. The boards of both nonprofits have voted on and approved the merger with the expectation that it will be finalized by late summer.

The Reg Lenna Civic Center and the Arts Council for Chautauqua County complement one another in mission and operations. With a 90-year history of delivering performing arts, cinema and productions from community organizations, the Reg Lenna Civic Center will continue to expand these traditions with the merger. 

The Arts Council for Chautauqua County, which formed in 1979, has grown into a countywide agency whose main focus includes servicing arts organizations and artists, presenting arts education for regional youth and operating the 3rd on 3rd Art Gallery. It also owns the license for WRFA.

Once the merger is complete, both organizations’ programming will continue as before, but as part of one larger and more sustainable body called the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts.

This merger was made possible by funding from the Sheldon Foundation, Gebbie Foundation, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, and the Lenna Foundation.
