Kathryn Heard Craig's dream was to provide an environment that would encourage the “education and enlightenment” of women and an appreciation of the arts. She carefully planned for the establishment of the Heard-Craig Woman’s Club Trust, the organization that would go into effect upon her death.
The Heard-Craig Woman’s Club Trust received non-profit status on August 24, 1971. Since that time thousands of women have utilized the Heard-Craig facilities for education, fellowship, and civic benevolence. There are 24 clubs and groups currently meeting in the facilities and during the past year more than 32,000 guests attended events at the Heard-Craig Center for the Arts.
The mission of the Heard-Craig is to continue Kathryn Heard Craig's vision: promote the fine arts through educational programs and exhibits, provide meeting facilities for women's clubs, and honor the legacy of the Heard & Craig families through the preservation of the historic properties. |
