The Phelps Arts Center is supported in part by grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the Preston Foundation and the Milton and Sally Avery Foundation along with membership contributions from the community.
The Phelps Arts Center's Board Members, under the direction of President Bette Collier, worked over 60 hours to create this replica of the historic stainglass windows that grace the front of the building. A campaign is underway to raise funds to repair, preserve and restore all the stainglass windows in the building. Seen on the float is Board Member Pam Follett, Founding Director Marion Donnelly and Director John Maerhofer.
