Now, more than ever, our community needs to come together. At Darlington Arts Center we continue to hold true to our mission of

providing Every Art for Everyone, and we are here to help.

The Agape Fundin Memory of Andrea Lauren Hemmenway

Established in 2014, the Agape Fund assists students who have the skills and passion for music, art, dance, and drama, but may not have the financial capacity to

participate. This fund exists to ensure Darlington can break down financial barriers and give an equal opportunity for students to learn, create, connect and experience the arts. Andi devoted a good deal of her young life to taking advantage of the many pro-grams offered by Darlington, and we are proud to offer scholarships in her memory.
