Completion of Southington Community Arts Center Draw Closer with the community's support

Local artist Marjorie Low exhibits work

Renowned local artist, painter and author, Marjorie Low, has been invited to exhibit her work at a wine-tasting at the Pilgrim Furniture Store in Southington on Thursday evening, November 19th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  Low has chosen twelve oil paintings from her extensive lifetime of work and a dozen plus prints for her presentation and talk early in the program. The event is also a fund raiser for SoCCA, the Southington Community Cultural Arts Center. 

Name a window with a donation to SoCCA

You can be a supporter of the arts in Southington forever with your family’s name preserved in one of the windows gracing Southington’s  historic Gura Building soon to be the home of the SoCCA, Southington Community Cultural Arts center. Twenty-eight double hung windows on both the first and second floors are available at $1,500 each with the second floor Palladian window earmarked at $3,000. Tax deductible donations, (or pledges paid over three years), can honor or memorialize loved ones with a plaque placed within proximity of the window. "We are in the final stage of fundraising for the Gura Building capital campaign and what better way to support the arts in our community than to name one of the windows.  This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said SoCCA Board member Dawn Miceli. The downtown historic site is being renovated as a teaching, exhibiting and performing facility for the arts which will offer uniquely meaningful arts programming for all ages and provide a venue to local artists to exhibit and sell their work.  SoCCA’s placement in our downtown area offers Southington the potential of becoming a destination for culture seeking visitors with a concomitant positive impact on the town’s economy.  To name your window, please contact SoCCA at info@southingtonarts.org or call 860.681.8006. You may mail to P.O. Box 50, Southington, CT 06489.
